I think it looks great! I'm using yellow in a bargello quilt, it's a kids quilt, unfortunately one of my yellows has turned the colour of baby you-know-what. It was fine on the board, fine in the bigger stratas, but I'm doing a heart and once those thinner stratas come into play the colour changes. But I am finishing it anyway, maybe no one will notice LOL.

Your yellows are so fresh and clean.

I am sure it looks fine. We are our own worse critics, you know. I am fairly new to this bargello stuff, but I really love it. Maybe someday I'll be brave enough to try a heart, though I don't think I have a pattern for one with a heart. May be time to buy another bargello quilt book!

DON'T throw out the baby with the bathwater.!! Try something else that may just be a little darker than your #7 yellow and NOT such a screamer. I think that is the one that is bothering you. Don't feel bad. I had a too large of print in my Twist & Turn Island Sunset and had to take the one fabric that wasn't working in almost half of the quilt !! I am waiting on two fabrics I order for the Bed Runner in Eileen's new book: MORE Twist & Turn Bargello Quilts. Otherwise, I would also be piecing mine too. Good Luck !!

Well, I have decided to continue with the yellows I have. The quilt won't look like what I had in my mind's eye, but it will be cheerful!

Thanks for all the input.

Don't change a thing! Love it just the way it is and can't wait to see the finished quilt.
