    Why do you think it's ugly? I don't, most definitely. Please don't take it apart - it's lovely as it is.

    I really like it. Just add a border and it will be perfect.

    I'm not much of a yellow person either as it does command your attention.

    HOWEVER, in this quilt it does a wonderful job of framing and individualizing each of the blocks and keeps them from "fighting" with each other.

    An outer border of red would provide a nice balance. Red would encourage the eye to move around the quilt and highlight the hues in your individual strips.

    Lovely job! And what a great gift!

    very pretty another border of a bright red would set it off I think.

    I wouldn't take it out. It not that great, but it's not that bad either. I'd make a scrappy border or a border of some sort and it will neutralize the yellow. What a great scrappy quilt.
