I agree with this completely! No to the yellow. It really lessens the perspective quality. Lovely quilt though!

I vote no yellow. There isn't enough yellow in the windows to look for and I find it distracting. But I see from all the votes that I'm in the minority - oh well, been there before!!!

I would go with the color you used in the dark sashing.

Yes to the yellow. Gives it that extra little pop!

Great windows. The yellow really brings out the colors in the I Spy blocks. Great choice of blues for windows.

I like it better without the yellow -

the yellow isolates the border.

True, the yellow does make one more aware of the yellow objects in the 'windows' - but I think the yellow is distracting.
