I say leave it just like your picture! Love the look of the two bold colors together.

You say it's wild as though that were a bad thing....

Think of it as wild = celebration, wild = LIFE!

Yes, I am getting used to the wildness of it. I will continue, though this may not be a quilt I need to keep.

Yes I have seen several of these done with just 3 colors. I say do what ever what with the colors. It is your creation. I thinks it looks great.

It is rare though.

Let me see if I can attach a picture of what I am playing with. Just playing at the moment.

How about doing a white, blue, orange, blue, white, blue, orange, blue, etc.? That would border the orange on both sides with blue, and bring it to the viewers attention. If you want the blue to stand out, do the opposite. With the blue betweent two oranges. This way, it won't be so much of a stripe-y fabric, and more of a pattern. Just a thought.
