Yes, you do notice the yellow BUT in a good way. I think it is gorgeous & you have done a marvelous job !! Just love the blue with that pop of yellow. Enjoy the fruits of your labour. I would so love to do a bargello but do not feel I have the expertise to do it justice. Have only been quilting 3 years & have learned mostly on my own so I don't feel confident enough to tackle one. Yours is beautiful.
