I love it. It doesn't scream yellow at all!

For me, the yellow is not over powering.

I agree, once you FMQ it and if you use a blue tread it will tone it down. iIs a beautiful quilt.

I think the color is too light.

This is an absolute success. I mostly see the darkest blue against the white and I love that contrast. Your quilt is just lovely.

You did a great job. I don't ever think yellow needs toning down though. I always thought that blue was my favorite color, until I noticed that almost all of my quilts have yellow in them somewhere. I think I have changed my favorite to yellow. Now added to blue - - - Its perfect

These are not my colours at all but I love your quilt. It makes me want to make something in the similar colours.

I love it. It is so beautiful. I am trying to work up the courage to do one.

Wonderful quilt - the yellow is perfect with the blue. Looking at it I almost feel like I'm on an island on a sunny day.....considering its winter in Salem, Oregon, that's a VERY good thing!
