Let me know what you think. I value your opinions.

Personally, I like the 'muteness'...it adds to the the beauty of the quilt.
Try laying strips of the blue over the yellow border, leaving just a narrow inner strip of yellow and see if you like that better. You could also test the floral and blue in random strips for a border again covering the yellow leaving just an inner narrow yellow border.
If all else fails, send it to me. I've got a guest bedroom done in green and gold and your quilt would look beautiful draped over the bottom of the bed!!

the blue shines - what's wrong with that?! Is your first border a yellow or gold - hard to tell in picture. I agree that another floral border might tie it altogether
but... if you're tired of working on it send it my way & I'll finish it for me!

I love the way you ladies put 'ok this really looks like crap' and then I scroll down expecting to see something horrible (like I might make) and I ALWAYS see something beautiful!!
