I like this idea, quilting w/ a tan thread over the white hst.

I like it. The white makes the center blocks really pop. With the right quilting in the white, it could be spectacular.

I think that it looks rather nice. I think that it is lovely unless you were aiming to achieve another effect? I like the way the red and white blocks highlight the pattern within the mosaic areas.

I think you did a very good job putting your scraps together, getting a lot of color variation along the sides. I agree with others, if you find the red and white a little too much you can embroider or applique in the white areas, or quilt all over with a multi-colored thread - I think that will tie the colors all together. I personally think it's a nice quilt and I think your intended recipient will agree. As always, we are our own worst critics!
