    The yellow is not as bright as you think. If you want it bigger, add another border, but if not, bind it with a bright color like red.
    I agree :) Really pretty

    I think it is very pretty.
    It may be the rug that is causing the conflict. Can you take a peek at it outside hanging on a line?

    I think the yellow tones down the other colors.

    Nope, I don't agree. This quilt looks awesome with the yellow. I love it. It's a keeper.

    I just finished a LC and did this. I think it would work here but it is perfect the way it is. I would love to receive this as a gift.

    here's mine: look at the border.
    Looks very nice -- thanks to all for the info & compliments.
