All this quilt does for me is make me want to go buy some ice cream!!! JK! I like the piano keys on the border and the pinwheels are lovely ok I like the whole thing. The piggies are cute.

Love it with the piano key border. Don't think you need to lose the pink pinwheels. Maybe a narrow brown border to frame the centre? Amazing what turning a block will do! Love the colours and fabric choices......I've heard an interior designer call it 'Pink and Mink'LOL.

In your drawing, you have all the strip blocks facing the same way. eg all the browns on the verticle are on the left side and on the horizontals on the bottom. I think if you did this, it would look better.

I think I'd use the piggy focus fabric and the rail blocks as in "Warm Wishes" (one of my favorites!). You could use the pinwheels around the border. Great fabrics! Just don't see it as a quilt for a boy though.
