The yellow looks out of place. I would use a medium purple.

The Yellow is PERFECT! as a complementary color and as a color of sunshine and joy...Just perfect for a new baby! It is what accents the purple accents and complements the other colors as well. Just the same as mixing flowers in the garden. It looks great and will be well-loved! Cheers, Cathy vj in MA

JMO - the yellow is too bright, go with a more muted tone similar to the other colors in the quilt. Silvia

I agree that a more muted golden tone to the yellow rather than the bright sunshine yellow would do the trick.

May I suggest taking a picture on a more neutral background and not that green which really takes away from your QIP. I believe the yellow will work, but that green throws me off.

Yes it is a print of yellow with white background.

the yellow and pink both are "clear" colors while the rest
of them are kind of "muted". if the yellow/green print under
the squares is the setting triangles, could you use some form
of the muted green ? or maybe that makes too much contrast.

I agree. The yellow adds movement and life to the quilt. It looks a little out of place because the isn't enough of it. Add some to the border and it will all tie together.
