I love it, but, its your quilt and if you don't like it, then I think you shold change it. I don't like to finish things I am not happy with. I end up putting them over in a corner somewhere. SO do what makes you happy with the quilt.

I am not uaually a blue and yellow person but I do think the yellows are dull compared to the blues. You might could find brighter yellows.

What do you think? Is this yellow keepable? Thanks for any opinions.

Yellows are such a tough color to work with (IMHO) and you have done a FANTASTIC JOB in selecting what I think are PERFECT yellows to compliment the blues on this quilt. Cannot wait to see pics of the finished project!!

i think it's terrific. as to that lightest yellow, even though it looks rather whitish, i think it will sever to accent the curves of your bargello.

I'm glad you decided to keep it the way it is...it will be lovely when it's done! Make sure you post the completed quilt!!

I really like it. I think the yellow really sets it off. Of course I love yellow.

I can only add that I love this!!

I'd say you did a good job, but then I don't know what your vision was. You're the one who has to be happy with it. If it'll bug you forever, it needs changed.

Oh, that couldn't be more perfect, IMHO!! Those colors match my guest bedroom lamp, so you could always send the strips to me. ROTFL :o:o This quilt has a great beginning!

It is beautiful. If you really can't live with it, I can give you my snail mail address! Please......

I really like your blues and yellows together. They are 'happy' colors and are a time accepted combination. They are lovely together. They will be wonderful when you set your strips together.
