    I agree with the black borders to frame the beautiful colors. I can see why your mom loves it the way it is. It's so cheerful!

    I agree with every one on the borders. To make it bigger you could do a border and then another row of square. It has wonderful colors to pull from. Good Luck

    Mothers always love what their daughter makes...thats how we are!!!! I would also just add a black narrow border with maybe a 3-4" solid color border. You could even use a batik fabric. Older people like bright colors so don't take that away from her.

    I really like this bright quilt. I would just add borders and quilt, to me that is all that is needed.

    Well, Jade, I think it is lovely. How big is the quilt? The colors look so rich.

    What is it you don't like?
