Well, you asked our two cents. You really only have to please yourself, but if you don't like yellow, my bet is you don't like this.

I like yellow a lot, but this doesnt seem bright enough for this quilt. Lots of brights in the strings and then the pastel yellow--I don't know. I'd pull it apart and use a darker bolder color-- a deep jewel toned cobalt blue or forest green or deep aubergine purple.

Add me to the list of people who like it! Of course, I'm a little partial to yellow myself, so maybe that's why. I would probably try a second, larger border in a darker shade to tone it down if you feel that needs to be done. No way would I rip it apart!

I Think it looks like you are looking through a divided window. I like it. It also reminds me of a stain glass window.

No need to rip....I love it just the way it is.

I deffently don't think that it is ugly at all. The yellow deffently sets the block off nicely. It really brings everything together. I think that a really pretty bright blue or red would look good as a border or as a binding. Nice job.

I love it. The yellow is fun. I agree binding it in red would make it really lovely.

I think it's beautiful, but then yellow is my favorite color. If you want to tone it down a bit, maybe you could add a border of a darker print, something with several colors but of darker shades, and I'd make it wider than the yellow strips. Maybe that would make it more appealing to you.

It is perfect the way it is.
