Need advice
#71
I totally agree with the advice about taking out the yellow. Color is my thing, and as a quilting teacher, I help a lot of students with color choices. The yellow is definitely fighting with the rest of the colors. I would use something as muted as possible, as you've got a lot going on with all the different patterns - the eye needs a place to rest!

I don't mind the yellow, but I think it should be a pastel buttery yellow (more warm, and could be almost a cream). Also, your yellow comes across as a lemon yellow to me, which is too cool and looks greenish. I think a pastel print in light buttery yellow or cream would work well. The only way that you will be able to decide, of course, is to try different fabrics. Good luck! WLee

K so here is what it is going to look like I went with purple and yellow for the borders and purple for the inset triangles and I am just loving it now! I think the purple with the yellow border just brought the whole thing together!
