    May I ask where you bought the fabric? I would work perfect fussy cutting for the quilt I want to make for my granddaughters.

    #1 less yellow tones it down.. yellow is a color to use at 20 percent in your quilt at all times maximum because your eye sees it as a whole lot more than that already. it is a wow color .. this is what they told me in quilt class and I happen to agree on this.. a little goes a long way is the old saying.

    Try putting red in the little square where the crosses intersect. That would break up the yellow and
    would tie in the beautiful focus fabric. I think that one change would do it.

    I agree with Marciacp's latest post. That'd look quite nice!

    I know you asked for a vote of four options, but I would propose red with a blue cross
