    I'd do a little rearranging if it were me but I really like the fabrics in the quilt. I never did scrappy till about two years ago and now I love it. I never put more than three or four different fabrics in a quilt unless it was an applique now I am constantly on the look out for fat quarters and get prints I'd never have bought just to have more of a certain color. Even with that being said there is some scrappy that is not my taste, yours, however is very nice and if it were mine I'd do some twisting of the blocks till it feels right for you.

    Please keep going....a dark border around it when you are finished may help pull it all together and be really stunning.

    Try doing a few more blocks - maybe add a few fabrics with more contrast. Don't give up on it yet.

    Oh - keep going if you can bear it. I relly like the effect too. Consider it a learning project. Remember the more scrappy the better. If something doesn't look right adda little more and se if it works then.

    I love scrappy quilts so this one isn't busy to me at all. It's beautiful and cheerful. However, try different layouts and you might like it better. I know it's hard to finish a quilt you don't like, but imagine your relief when you put that last stitch in it and you'll have a lovely gift for someone.
