Quote: Fun "stacks", and great colors. Neat to incorporate some of granny's hankies! But personally, I'd remove the orange ones. Perhaps put them around the label on the back. JMHO~
I agree. Nice, no orange.

Orange is exactly opposite blue on the color wheel. Unfortunately for you, this means that it provides the most contrast of any color. This is why it sticks out so much and disrupts everything.

I agree with the others that you should either eliminate it or move it to a spot where it won't make a spectacle of itself. (Just so you know, orange is my favorite color. It hurts to advise you to re/move it!)

The quilt is going to be very matchy-matchy without the orange accent. To me, you either need more orange slices on the front or make them smaller. I like the orange.

You're right. The orange would be better suited to something that has lime and other brights.

I would also remove the orange on this quilt. Just seems to be distracting to me.

I agree with the majority, orange should be removed and used when making the label. Love the blues.

Does your sister like "POP" or does she prefer serene?? You know her better than we do. If she is a POPPER, add more orange. If her style is serene, take it out.

I'd take the orange out. Love the pattern.

Leave the orange. It's going to be a great quilt, just as you have it laid out.

I think the orange is great just like it is. If you remove it, the look is very nice because of your fabric selections, but the orange provides added value of character and interest. I am not saying the quilt would be boring but the orange adds spark and pzazzzzzzzz to the quilt. I vote for keeping it in.

It is beautiful and thank you for asking our opinion.
