    I love yellow and I love the bit that it plays in your bargello! Good luck!

    I like the yellow. A little splash of unexpected color does a lot. They will be the "light" in the quilt. Consider putting some brick red with teals, as it is a complementary color and will give it some zing!

    I'd take the yellow out, it doesn't fit in with the rest for a bargello, IMHO!!

    One pattern I made stated you needed to have one "zinger" fabric.(and the designer said ALL quilts need to have one) The yellow is your zinger!

    i think that if you use black instead of yellow, the pale pink would pop and the colors would pick up an amish feel.

    I did a bargello class and was taught to either take a photo of what I had done or look through the camera and the colour that hits you in the eye is the one to take out... and the yellow is that one in this case. Maybe put a different pink or blue in its place...

    I never heard that before but it makes sense. I also heard that you have to have a 'zinger'. Confusing. I think I will have to put in a few more rows to really be able to tell.

    To me the yellow is OK, but just a tad too much of a good thing. Of course that may just be a result of there being such a narrow strip. I do like it, but think maybe a slightly different shade of yellow might 'feel' better.
