I was wanting to say the same thing and thought everyone would think I was nuts. I like the way the yellow shows up all through the quilt here and there. It would make the quilt less predictable and give it some zing...or better yet, do a magic binding...there was a post here, where you put the yellow with the dark blue and use one for the tiny flange and major bind with the one not used.

I have 3 choices here--the dark blue from sashing, the medium blue small print from the border or the medium blue large floral print from the backing. I like all three but think the dark would make a nice "framing" to it.
This is only a portion of the quilt--it measures around 68x78.
Thanks.
