    I think plaid sashing and borders would help. Personally, I love yellow.

    What great ideas, and so fast! I posted the picture, put a pot roast in the oven and came back to two pages of suggestions. It's so great to have so many helping hands/heads always available. I like the floral idea. It might make the quilt clever instead of tacky.

    I like yellow, too, but this is real "fingers-on-the-blackboard" yellow.

    I'd be worried the black my raise the hideosity factor! :lol:

    Navy ... that way you stick with the blues that are there, and are just adding another to it.

    Batik ... You might find a really nice batik that would blend well with this.

    Jungle Fabric or Hawaiian Print ... that has your colours in there.

    I think a dark blue would look good for sashing

    my high school colors. i actually had pants that color yellow i wore with a royal blue sweater on spirit day. lol. you couldn't pay me to go back to my teenage years. lol.

    I agree with the black. black sashing would break it up and frame it. i think it'd make the colors look great.

    [i]ghostrider[/y] has a wonderful suggestion. Or - what about looking at Batiks? Many Batiks have wonderful bright blues and yellows all together in one piece.

    I like the blocks and the colors.

    I think they look cheerful and bold.

    I saw some yellow, blue, and green floral at WalMart about a year ago that I think would look great as a border. Maybe a dark green or dark navy for the sashing.
