Then you could add a narrow border out of the cornerstone fabric, and a final, larger border of a multi color or print with the colors in the bonnet and background.
I really like where you're going here. I'm just thinking, EMBRACED THE YELLOW! I think if you went with a soft yellow in the sashing and the darker bonnet blue in the cornerstones it would help tone down the yellow that you aren't satisfied with. I think the blocks look awesome. Sorry you had to take it apart, that's so frustrating. :-(
