It was a rainy day yesterday and I got busy sewing. I did not have enough of white background fabric for centers so I used yellow.
this quilt will get wide border with applique flowers around. I know that by using yellow I will have a hard time picking fabric for the border.
Then I found some leftover white fabric and now I like the squares better with it. What do I do? do I take it all apart and replace the yellow center squares with white? it will make so much easier to do the border or do I stay with the yellow centers?

I know that not everybody likes yellow.. so the quilt with yellow center might not be well received......
any thoughts would be appreciated
thanks

white center

Did you think of mixing the two? I think they both are very pretty. Great job.

I like the yellow, it really brightens it up. MrsM said both and that just might be it!

Can I admit, I rather like the yellow one...but both are of course very nice. But I like the yellow...it draws my eye.

I like the yellow but I think combining them would look great.
