    I learned (or maybe should say, I'm still trying to learn) that I am my own worst critic. I way over-think too many of my projects. I can sit at a scrapbook page and adjust things back and forth 1/4 of an inch. In the end I know no one will scrutinize the layout of that page; they will glance at the picture, maybe read a caption and turn the page. Why do I spend so much time on minute details?!?!? I do the same with quilts. I never seem to be satisfied with my work as I go through the process. But in the end, I'm good with it. Sounds like you spent ample time collecting your fabrics, they look great together...don't over-think it. GO FOR IT!!!! I really like the freshness of yellow and blue together and you made great fabric choices. I think your lightest yellow, while it is very light, against the dark blue is what is needed in bargellos to really bring out the 'curves' formed by the piecing. Please show us the finished quilt!

    Keep it. I love the yellows. All colors are pretty together.

    Yellow is a very strong color and will dominate a quilt if used liberally. I think our yellows match very well but as others said it's your vision for the end result that counts.

    Well, blue and yellow is one of my favorite color combinations, so I love it.

    I too like your color choice. If you really don't like it change it or you may consider adding a large applique in a dark color. Something simple in design.

    Thanks, Sis, but I am pretty sure it will be a keeper.

    Really great colors, blue is not top of my list, but with the beautiful yellows it is an outstanding quilt.

    I like all your blues and yellows! Who doesn't love a blue and yellow quilt? I think your colors go well together.
