I'd use a tonal and not a solid.
A creamy to match those flowers with a lavender print might be nice.
It's not that this yellow is 'wrong', persay, just takes over a bit in the design.
I'm guessing it's for a girl?

I like the idea of the yellow but is it a little too bright for the other yellows in the quilt? I'd hard to till from the photo. If you have a yellow that is slightly more gold than sunshine yellow? Otherwise, I like the suggestion of using the plaid that's used in the other blocks in the same rows.
The above was difficult for me to say, since I think all colors for children should be bright...but since other colors are slightly grayed, the grayer look would fit in better here, I think.

I like the yellow too. It looks like there is a hint of a print in it. A small border in that color would look nice too with a wider border in the darkest purple you have in there. It's going to be darling! Hoping to see it when it is done. dani

How about pulling the green in from the border?

I am having a hard time figuring out what fabric to use in that spot this was my first option, not sure what else I would use as of yet. Thanks for the input!

I definitely agree to not add more purple or pink.
