I bought this quilt kit (this will be my 2nd ever pattern that I am attempting to follow). I received it yesterday, and realized I don't like the oranges with the purples and greens.

I'm thinking that yellow would be a better match ...

What do you gals think?

your quilt - your colors!! I would prefer the yellow too. But then I don't like that green.

I agree with you...

i sort of like the quilt as is. but, again, it's your quilt. i think the yellow will blend in well.

Yes, it is what is pleasing to your eye that is the most important. I would probably go with another pastel such as pink to cranberry.

I agree with you. Change it to something you like.

I agree with you. The yellow would be a much better match.

Yellow is the most visible color...think how far away we all see yellow caution lights, so use yellow carefully. The orange seems to me a more saturated color than many others in the quilt and perhaps that is why you struggle with this choice? To make this top more of a kaleidoscope you might toss in some yellow, cut down a bit on the orange and buy a couple of fat quarters of kit colors you favor, but in slightly more intense values, and toss them in judiciously? To my eyes the colors seem a bit unbalanced.

Thanks all ... yes, Basketman, that is what I am struggling with ... it doesn't seem to "flow" like I think a quilt should ...

if not yellow or orange LOL ... I was thinking of just taking the orange out completely, and doing it only in greens, blues and purples ... I like that idea too!

I like the quilt just like it is, but that's just me. I am drawn to the "zinger" fabrics, but I tend to pick out matchy-matchy which makes a nice quiet quilt. Have you actually seen the fabric yet? Sometimes the pictures are not totally accurate. Whatever you decide will be very interesting. Looking forward to a picture.
