I love the purple and also the aqua ones. My kitchen table is only 5 ft. long and narrow. I wanted one with some aqua also. 3 blocks is too long. I made the backing from more of the aqua and did the fold over type binding. You can see I still have to bind and quilt it. My picture dulled the colors. The yellow is a sunny yellow and the aqua is bright too. What looks gray is a sea foam green. Thanks for looking.
