    I do not like the yellow, maybe a pink or cream. Penny

    Possibly the purple floral would make it look like star points, or you might try for a softer yellow to tone it down a tad.

    actually you never stated! Is she having a girl? I too think a green would look nice but a brighter green and then use the yellow in the border

    You probably don't want to hear this, but I think that the green doesn't work. Everything else is fine. Green for a baby just doesn't do it for me.

    I have read the suggestions and this will come down to your personal preference, but I LOVE the yellow.

    OOPS! I meant I agree with leaving the yellow. What you have shown is a unique combo and it is pleasing to the eye. :-P :-P

    I Love the yellow! I have been told that yellow can be a color that is very intimidating for quilters. Don't let it be. It is a complimentary color and I feel it goes well with what you have. Do you have a Quilt viewer (like the glass door viewers) you can buy one at Home Depot cheep.

    Look at your quilt through it, so you can see the whole quilt from afar, you can get a better idea of how it will look when sewn up. I use my all the time to just check things out. If one thing pops out to much you will see it also. Then think about changing to maybe a lighter yellow. But as I see it here, I love it! Good luck with this charming quilt you are making, she will surely love it. :thumbup:

    I agree with JudyG, perhaps try just a softer shade of yellow. I used to avoid yellow and orange like the plague, but BOY they can sure add so much to a quilt when used judiciously!
