Well, uh........how do I (should I?) respond to that?!
I've been in this field for over 30 years, during which time I've been blessed to meet, learn from, rub shoulders with some of the most well known names and skilled quilters.
I find I don't do things part way, just for fun, laid back and easy; nooooo, I have to go at them 150%, sometimes to the point of ridiculousness! It's either a passion or it's out of here for me. During the couple of times I've abandoned quilting for some other interest, I went at those with the same total immersion, and I consequently burned out. Quilting is the ONE thing I always have returned to. It feeds my soul, and because of that, I don't often do things I don't *want* to do now, because I don't want it to become a "got to". Got to's are no fun any more at my age!
Really, all that to say, Thank you, Joan!

Another reason why a soft yellow might work is because there is yellow in both the peach and green. Or it would be three neighboring colors on a color wheel - orange, yellow, green.
I can kind of see the floral being used as a sashing with the white in the blocks - the blocks do look clean and crisp - but I agree with you - they don't seem quite right with that floral.

I think the blocks are blending in with the floral. Maybe you could add a small white border to each block to seperate the floral from the blocks. You need to stop the eye between the blocks and sashing. When you have the same color in any amt in both sashing and block they will appear to bleed from one to the other.
I don't think changing the white is the problem at all. I like the white. Tho you know me I would have used a small tiny print in place of the white. LOL

I agree, the white is too stark - I like the suggestion of a pale yellow, creamier white to soften things up.
