Is this light blue too dark?

I am making sort of a rainbow Bargello. I am sort of following a pattern called Glacier Bay by Elieen Wright, though I have changed the colors and the sizes of the strips so much that it is only going to be sort of that pattern. :)
My question is the light blue. I want this to look like several rainbows in a blue sky. The blue I have ended up using is not as light as I really wanted it to be. IF I am going to change it, I need to make that decision now, before I get too many more pieces up on my design wall. I want it to look like rainbows in the sky...okay, not realistic rainbows, but still rainbows. So, is the light blue too dark? Dina |
I think it's a good "after the rain" blue.

I don't think the light blue is too dark, it looks like a nice shade of blue sky and there is good contrast between it and the other colors.

If the pic is a good representation I think it's just right.

I don't think it's too dark at all. Looking out at our sky right now, I see that it's even darker than your fabric. Of course, this is a cold, Minnesota winter sky. Maybe it's lighter in Texas. Seriously, I think it's fine and will make a beautiful quilt.

I think it works fine. I wonder if you could find one that has light blue shades "mottled" with white that would simulate a blue sky with wispy clouds? I have seen fabrics like that in lines like Basic Grey. It will be a bright and cheery quilt! Can't wait to see the finished product you always make such great bargellos!!!

I think it's perfect and makes the adjoining colors pop.

Thanks, everyone. That is the decision I have just made, and you made me feel better about it. :)

I think your blue will work just fine ... but I do really like Jeanne S's idea of a mottled blue with some white.

No, the shade of blue you used looks nice to me.
