I like the colors that you picked. If you have not sandwiched it yet, and are willing to do a bit of work, you could separate it out a bit with some black, or brown sashing. Then it would not look so busy, and you might be happy with it. As I said, the colors are fine, just close to each other.

Love the colors. I was in same position when I made a dble Irish chain for my mother before she died. If you do not like the binding, do you have scrapes of blocks? Sew them in a strip, narrower than one you have on and I think you will like it.

I think they match OK. Why not quilt it with a Bright Color Thread that shows and brigtens in it up a bit. Otherwise, I like the quilt. I really think the quilting can perk it up and change your mind.
