I think plaid sashing and borders would help. Personally, I love yellow.

What great ideas, and so fast! I posted the picture, put a pot roast in the oven and came back to two pages of suggestions. It's so great to have so many helping hands/heads always available. I like the floral idea. It might make the quilt clever instead of tacky.

I like yellow, too, but this is real "fingers-on-the-blackboard" yellow.

I'd be worried the black my raise the hideosity factor! :lol:

Navy ... that way you stick with the blues that are there, and are just adding another to it.

Batik ... You might find a really nice batik that would blend well with this.

Jungle Fabric or Hawaiian Print ... that has your colours in there.

I think a dark blue would look good for sashing

my high school colors. i actually had pants that color yellow i wore with a royal blue sweater on spirit day. lol. you couldn't pay me to go back to my teenage years. lol.

I agree with the black. black sashing would break it up and frame it. i think it'd make the colors look great.

[i]ghostrider[/y] has a wonderful suggestion. Or - what about looking at Batiks? Many Batiks have wonderful bright blues and yellows all together in one piece.

I like the blocks and the colors.

I think they look cheerful and bold.

I saw some yellow, blue, and green floral at WalMart about a year ago that I think would look great as a border. Maybe a dark green or dark navy for the sashing.
