I love it, but, its your quilt and if you don't like it, then I think you shold change it. I don't like to finish things I am not happy with. I end up putting them over in a corner somewhere. SO do what makes you happy with the quilt.

I am not uaually a blue and yellow person but I do think the yellows are dull compared to the blues. You might could find brighter yellows.

What do you think? Is this yellow keepable? Thanks for any opinions.

Yellows are such a tough color to work with (IMHO) and you have done a FANTASTIC JOB in selecting what I think are PERFECT yellows to compliment the blues on this quilt. Cannot wait to see pics of the finished project!!

i think it's terrific. as to that lightest yellow, even though it looks rather whitish, i think it will sever to accent the curves of your bargello.

I really like it. I think the yellow really sets it off. Of course I love yellow.

Oh, that couldn't be more perfect, IMHO!! Those colors match my guest bedroom lamp, so you could always send the strips to me. ROTFL

This quilt has a great beginning!

I really like your blues and yellows together. They are 'happy' colors and are a time accepted combination. They are lovely together. They will be wonderful when you set your strips together.
