I just finished the last seam on this and wanted to show you all how it came out. I asked for advice from the board on color selection. Some of it I took and some of it I didn't. The board didn't care for the gold I was thinking about using, so I left it out. The board also said the white was too much. I ignored you and can now see that you were right. The white is too bright.
I had no pattern. I just watched Billie Lauder's video and jumped right in. (One of my many bad habits.) This was fast and easy. I'm ready to do it again. Maybe with a pattern even!
Next thought.. The white is certainly too bright for this quilt. I agree with that, but I'm wondering how it would look if nothing really blended. Bright primary colors all in a bargello. What do you think?

I disagree about the white. Actually I agree and disagree! It hink it fits fine toward the top where you have the lighter colors, it just doesn't transition as well at the bottom between the two dark colors. So you learned a lesson and next time you'll do it different! It's still a beautiful quilt and whoever uses it will love it!
