I will add some more fabric to it make it a little bigger and will add some minky fabric to the back she says it is too cold. So what pattern would you use??

I would do a border in red to bring out the green and diminish the yellows. I would also consider using flannel for the backing. It would be much warmer for her. Also, what type of batting did you use? 100% cotton would be my choice. Maybe add a layer of this? I really don't think it is all that bad :)

Minky fabric is a very soft not sure what it is made of furry like material. She had breast cancer and is a amazing survivor!! She just hated this quilt I felt so bad on sunday when she told me. But I did exactly what she asked. This time I am going to do it differently and make it warmer :)
