get a floral with all those colors in it. do sashings maybe and a nice border with it.

I think if you can find the primary rainbow stripe, that I would use that for sashing. It was a very popular seller a few years ago but I saw a similar print last year?
|
I see a rich black to give it drama. Black can solve a multitude of problems but to tell you the truth I bet it all turns out great. Let's see your pics once you decide.

I like the idea of a floral for the sashing and the outside border. The blocks are beautiful, you've done great work. I'd love to see the finished quilt.

Awww...this was the first quilt I made also! I finished it with the blue sashing, green and blue borders, and blue backing. (just like the pattern!) I liked it, and felt the yellow was toned down considerably with the cool blue and green, Mine was twin sized. That brings back memories! I'd love to see what you decide!

I wonder what they would look like as D4p or D9p???? Or maybe add a diferent corner... Take a square sew it on. ???? However I like yellow lol. I also think you did a great job :) hugs

Oh someone mentioned print, maybe jungle print or hawaiian (sharp), eyes would be drawn to the wild factor lol... I still think it could make a intereting DP (smile)
|
they dont seem so HIDEOUS to me..they look like primary colors inthe blocks...try using other primary colors or possibly a batik
