I made this jacket for my Mom. Bought a jelly roll from Connecting Threads that looked like it was perfect with the pansy fabric that I had.
I didn't have a lot of the pansy and needed to do this pretty quick, so I didn't take the time to audition each and every fabric.
This is not very blended is it? I think that the yellow has taken over. I even stippled in a purple thread to calm down the yellow, but it still is too bright. I have it hanging next to the computer and I almost feel the need to have my sunglasses on.
(having trouble adding the photo)

picture?

Can you add some floral appliques to tone down the yellow? :D:D:D

Pic? Am I just too eager to see it or what? I'll wait a minute.

Can you see it Amma?

Gosh dang it, I timed that photo, it took 10 minutes to show up in my browser!!!

I think it looks cute the way it is. :):)

Bright colors are very stylish now. Older women look terrific in bright colors but so few wear them. I bet you Mom gets lots of compliments when she wears the jacket.

I love it. Maybe the pics aren't as bright as real life...

I love it!

I love it!

I like it too, and can definitely see my mom wearing it - with a yellow scarf to match!

I see pansies standing out more than the yellow. I think you may have just worked with it too long. Let it sit and look at it again tomorrow.

And then, what is wrong with yellow? Nice cheerful color.

If it is too bright I will give you my address. I love it!!!

Thanks, I think I'm just going to wrap it up and hope for the best tomorrow night when she opens it. She has 50 years worth of buttons so I left the button closure off so that she can use up a couple of her old ones.

Connecting thread for the jelly roll, and the pansy is from Fabric.com.

LOL...you will have to make your own.

Cameras play tricks with color. It looks perfect to me. I know she will adore it.

I love it and I do not think that the yellow is to bright. She is going to love it. If you want to tone it down then buy a purple scarf to hang around her neck. :P

I think it is darling...Purple is the color older women like to wear these days...I don't think the yellow looks bad at all...it's a nice accent.

looking good to me - your Mom will love it. Won't you be surprised if she picks out yellow buttons!

It is beautiful. If you don't give it your Mom, put me on the list!

I love it the way it is. It is beautiful!!!

I love it! The yellow gives it PZAZZ!

I think it's great! My mother would LOVE that! Good job!

It's beautiful!!!!

I wouldn't change anything about it. Look beautiful to me.

It's beautiful, I would wear it proudly. Great job, don't try to change it, she will be thrilled.

I love it! The thing about the colors... even in real life, you can have 3 doz purple pansies in a garden, and sprinkle in 4 yellows and they will stand out. I think it makes the jacket all the more lovely that the colors are mirroring life.

Hope that made some sort of sense,
Sorcha

I think mom will love it :lol: Love the colors - don't think the yellow over takes it

I love it....so bright and cheerful....great job!!!

Looks good to me. Lucky Mom!!

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and I'm beholding beauty. Without the yellow, the pansies would melt into the darker strips. Your selections gives a nice pop and cheer to the project. I never thought of myself as a "purple person", but those pansies called to me too. I made a pinwheel sampler (one of my works in progress, pieced, waiting to be quilted). Our color selections are similar. I'm so glad I chose the yellow, and you probably will be too.

Susie, I love it.

I LOVE IT! I love purple, so the purple stands out to me. She will love it!

I like it, but if it bothers you, how about a quick dip in tea dye?

I love color and to me, I see nothing wrong with it the colors are very pretty.
Unless your mom is a very conservative dresser browns, blacks then by all means give it to her.
I remember my mother loving lavenders,deep purples. So many compliments she recieved.
Your mother will love this and the novel idea of leaving off a button

I love it dont think it is too bright.

It will look great with either a yellow or purple sweater or shell underneath. Ur mom will love it.

I think its cheerful! But then I like bright colors. If your Mom likes the colors she will love the jacket.

are you kidding, this is really beautiful. Nice job

The jacket for your Mom is PERFECT!!! Your Mom will be thrilled when she opens up her gift!!!

Love it, That is great, If she does not like it, I would say I would wear it, but it would not fit my right leg.
