I was asked to do a quilt & this is what I came up with -- not my best. I need your opinion on should I go with the light blue or yellow inner board. Thanks ahead of time.

I like the yellow

light blue, don't care for the yellow at all

Either one would be ok. I like both of them.

light blue for sure - i think the yellow is a little too bright for the tones in the quilt.

Light blue!

Surprisingly (to me) I think the bright yellow works. I would not have thought to use it there, but it's a good choice. The light blue safe, but bland.

RST

I like the yellow.It makes the brown stand out much better. I think it looks really nice,maybe you can use the blue with the yellow for an outer boarder the blue softens the eyes.

I like the light blue best. Very nice.

I think the light blue is better than the yellow. The yellow pulls the eye to the outside and the blocks themselves are not the focal point. Unless that is what you want.

Light Blue.

light blue

try a small dark blue then the light blue then dk blue

Light blue.

Light blue :) feels like it blends better, not so harsh.

Light blue as the yellow is just off and wrong with this.

Mix em like the pic!!

I'm a yellow fan but I think the blue would look best. Or even a medium grey. :thumbup:

Light blue, I personally think the yellow clashes with the gold.
Have a great 4th.

I think I would go with a brown border...

I have to say I like pop but I would go to a brown to tie in to the horses. It surprises me that I am even saying this.

Agreed!!!!

blue

Yellow!

The light blue "should" work for this quilt but my eyes keep going to the yellow. I think because it is more dramatic.
I would go with the yellow.

I agree!

I like the yellow best.

I would pick up the brown of the horses.

I would go with the blue. When you look at the quilt you want to see the great horse blocks. With the yellow, that's all you notice.

You have a great quilt ... and I don't feel any of your options are doing justice to what you have done and will only detract from what you already have as they aren't colours that are in the quilt.

Yes, perhaps the light blue is the background in the horse print ... can't tell from the picture here. Though even if it is, it doesn't help frame up the work as you have shown it. If it has, do a narrow (thinner than the green/gold borders) border. Then gold or green ... or do steps and use both.

Definitely the light blue, it pulls it together with the background of the horses. I don't like the yellow against the gold.

Light blue!

ditto

I like the blue.

I vote for the light blue.

I like the blue, it pulls the blue out of the blocks nicely.

Light blue

I'm a firm believer in repeating a color....the light blue picks up the shades in the horse block...I would go with that and maybe do an outer border of the chestnut brown.
Just an opinion....one of many shown here...lol.

I have a couple of questions. but first I would go with the light blue. now is the other blue sky fabric going into it also? I am not sure that it goes very well. the same with the yellow and light blue. I would try and find a greener light blue one that matches the greenblue in the horse fabric. but that is me. I would also try and get a shade of brown for the top. one of the ones in the horses. but that is just me.

I like the yellow BUT .. think the eye stays with it too long. How about a bit of the dark blue.. and then a very small amount of the yellow and also try the light blue...so you are comparing both as you have the dark blue finish border..... lay it out that way and see what happens????
