    I'm wondering if pastels colors would be better on this quilt top? I'm really drawn to bright colors and I like the results, but I can't decide if the bright colors overwhelm the blue squares. One of the photos has a couple of pastel fabrics I could use. I also used the color correction feature on my pc but it still doesn't show the sharp contrast between the squares and bands. The squares are Donna Dewberry fabric that I've had for a while.

    color corrected on computer - brighter colors

    I love the bright colors and don't think they distract from the blue squares. Your color combination is excellent!

    I like it! maybe a darker sage green instead of the blue to bring out the leaves in the floral print?
