    I vote for a combo of the dark and light. The yellow is happy and the dark dramatic. Why not audition the yellow next to the white with the black on the outside and binding of red?

    I agree, would set everything off.

    Love the yellow but maybe if you added one small border of the dark fabric just before the yellow might bring all the fabrics together. Nice quilt.

    The yellow makes it pop and the blue subdues it.
