Maybe find a floral with these colors but with a white background, which may help calm the colors some.

I have seen some very pretty blue and yellow floral fabrics that when used for borders and sashings would be great. Your blocks are very nice. Someone said pillows, that's a good idea too. And if you are not happy with the completed project, bless it and send it off as a charity quilt.

I'd go with the same dark blue as sashing then a narrow border of the light blue and a wide border of the dark blue again. Another obvious choice is a black marble in one wide border with the dark blue as sashing. The blue will balance the yellow without making it look sickly (or sickening).
I actually like the colors. :oops:
