So here is where my "Simple Modern Baby Quilt" is right now... the "wait and see" stage. Thats the point that I've finished all my piecing, and I lay the quilt out with the squares in the proper order. Then I come back periodically over the course of a couple days or a week and decide how I feel about it. I find that directly after spending hours and hours cutting and piecing, my view is different then it will be after I wait a bit and come back to it.
Unfortunately, I never get to see it through the eyes of someone who isn't me... which is where you come in... I need an honest opinion before I commit these squares to my quilt. Its meant as a gift- so I want it to be a nice as possible. The thing I'm having trouble with tonight is the light pink blocks I have around the main "Apples & Pears" fabric. Is it the wrong shade of pink? Do I need to go darker? Pinker? As long as the comments are constructive, I'm happy to accept some criticism.
Please share your thoughts!! Thank you!!!

I really like the pink. I think that the lighter pink makes the design on the inside stand out or pop more. Just my opinion. :) Really nice job.

I really like the color combinations. And what a smart idea about letting it sit for a few days!
I wouldn't change a thing about it because the patterns and colors work so well together.
Are you doing any borders or binding for the edges?
I think it looks good. I personally wouldn't have the exact same fabric on the inside of the pink blocks and different ones inside the green, but I'm a balance person. If you take a step back and don't over analyze it it looks great. I have no issues with the colors and whoever is receiving it is sure to love it.
I definitely think that it works! I think all shades of pink "go" and I love the greens with it. I wouldn't change a thing!
hi!
