what's wrong with this top

Everybody is telling you they like it, but I got the impression that you've already ripped it apart! Am I right?
If you have, tell us how your pieces are now so you can get the suggestions you want for alternative placements or additions like solid squares, borders, or something.

I think it is an adorable quilt top :D:D:D
If the yellow is a bit to much for you, you could quilt around the Sues with a darker yellow, which would help tone it down a little. You could also add some appliqued flowers around the corners of some of the blocks, too.

That was my thought also, Add a border in the bonnet color,

So now all you have are the blocks? Which by the way are very nice, love them.
frame each block in a dark color to match the bonnets, sashing; add corner stones in a color to match or blend with the yellow/gold background.
Then you could add a narrow border out of the cornerstone fabric, and a final, larger border of a multi color or print with the colors in the bonnet and background.
