I like the body of the quilt,

That's what I was thinking as well. Great job on the top, it looks wonderful, and I really think it will be a nice keepsake for them.

You did a great job. Memories sometimes are all that we have left.
I love the way you used the cuffs. Go with a solid border to really showcase each shirt.
You are a thoughtful person for taking this project.

It is really nice and a wonderful keepsake for your friend's daughter. I am sure it will mean a great deal to her for many years to come.

Stop beating yourself up - it is lovely and what a great idea! I think she will love it just like that....maybe put a polar fleece back so it is nice and cuddly!

I have to agree with the solid border idea that others have thrown out there. The flowers are a bit distracting and maybe that is what you are having a hard time with as well? All in all, you have done a great job with this quilt and the reason for doing it overcomes any flaw you may feel that it has. At the end of the day, the boy that receives this quilt is going to cherish it for the rest of his life. You have done a really great thing here.

What a lovely thing to do. I can't imagine how hard it was to combine the T's with the Westerns...such different things to work with! What about it specifically is bothering you???? If its the border...just replace it with something different and piece this one into the back of the quilt.
