I think it looks just great. You have a nice contrast there and it is a very pretty light blue.

It looks fine to me. Of course, blue is my favorite color. Looking forward to seeing your finished rainbow bargello.

I have seen fabrics like that in lines like Basic Grey. It will be a bright and cheery quilt! Can't wait to see the ished product you always make such great bargellos!!!

Actually, on my smallscreened tablet, the light blue does look mottled. Is it?

I think it makes the rainbow pop. I like it just fine. Hope you do, too.

Yes, it is. It has two shades of blue.

It looks just fine to me. You don't want to go too light or it will look like it faded.

I really love what you have chosen. This should be a fabulous project-- lots of sewing but oh! so satisfying
in the end.

It looks great to me too. It may be it looks too dark to you because you are close to it. But it you look at it across the room - we see it in a small picture, it looks very nice.
