I made this jacket for my Mom. Bought a jelly roll from Connecting Threads that looked like it was perfect with the pansy fabric that I had.
I didn't have a lot of the pansy and needed to do this pretty quick, so I didn't take the time to audition each and every fabric.
This is not very blended is it? I think that the yellow has taken over. I even stippled in a purple thread to calm down the yellow, but it still is too bright. I have it hanging next to the computer and I almost feel the need to have my sunglasses on.
(having trouble adding the photo)

Can you add some floral appliques to tone down the yellow? :D:D:D

Pic? Am I just too eager to see it or what? I'll wait a minute.

Can you see it Amma?

Gosh dang it, I timed that photo, it took 10 minutes to show up in my browser!!!

I think it looks cute the way it is. :):)

Bright colors are very stylish now. Older women look terrific in bright colors but so few wear them. I bet you Mom gets lots of compliments when she wears the jacket.

I love it. Maybe the pics aren't as bright as real life...

I like it too, and can definitely see my mom wearing it - with a yellow scarf to match!

I see pansies standing out more than the yellow. I think you may have just worked with it too long. Let it sit and look at it again tomorrow.
