What would I change in this quilt? Well, had I known the pattern (this was a mystery after all), I would have used the gold in the center of those 9 patches and the red where the gold is now. I'm not complaining. It's great the way it is . However, the border was purchased with the assumption that the red would predominate and while it looks nice, it overpowers. I like to analyze quilts to see how I could do better - it also helps in picking fabrics for the next mystery.
So far, I'm the only one who did this mystery using Christmas fabrics, most of which are Hoffmann prints.

Very pretty.. I like the red in the center of the 9 patch.
WOW that came out great! I think I agree about the border, when the quilt is hanging up, but when it is on the bed, I think it will be perfect.
I love your colors just the way they are. But you know, that can be another quilt for you to do! Make one with the red and gold switched!
It's a beautiful quilt!
