I need your opinions, please...
 

My daughter is pregnant and is due in June. She asked that the baby quilt be made in mint green and gray.

I felt that just those colors would be too close in value, so I decided to add orange to make a "pop" of color.

Originally, I had planned to put the orange stripe between the gray stripes on the 4th row down, but ended up making a mistake and putting it in the middle of the green stripes in the middle row.

The blocks are not sewn together yet, so I could remake the 3rd and 4th rows: 3rd row would be green and white just like rows 1 & 5, and then the 4th row would be gray with orange in the middle.

I could salvage the current 3rd and 4th rows by putting them on the back.

I'm posting a picture of the current, but unplanned, layout and I'd really LIKE YOUR FEEDBACK!!!

Can we see what it would look like without the row that has the orange stripe?

Hmm! While it looks neat as you've sewn it by mistake, I feel that the orange may be more attractive sandwiched into a gray row rather than a mint one as you'd originally planned.

I agree that I would like the orange paired up with gray better. Lovely quilt!! If you weren't totally set on orange for your pop of color, I think a bright teal would look good on this quilt too.

I don't have a green/white row made up to slip in there. Sorry. :(

I love it, I would leave it!

Think I would put it b/w grey. Love your design!

Since you asked, if it were mine I would use a softer orange. More like orange sherbet. The intensity of the orange is too much and it's all your eye is drawn to.

Thanks for the responses...I think I'm going to remake rows 3 & 4 as I had originally planned and put the orange between the gray stripes. That seems to be the consensus here, too.

I would not put the orange in the quilt. I like the way it would look without that stripe that sticks out way too much.
