    Default Used to yellow now, but have a new question...
    Okay, I am used to the yellow in this Bargello now (though it still isn't what I had pictured in my mind's eye), but the tiny white square in the top of the left hand side really bothers me. I am going to replace it. At first I thought I would replace it with the light blue, and now I think I will just put the darkest blue there. What do you think? Which would you use?

    Personally, I think I'd just use the darkest blue that is in the next row. I'd also do the same for the bottom right-hand corner wit the yellow. I know you weren't lovin' the yellow, but that is one seriously beautiful quilt!

    ​I see how it is in the proper order but you are right, it bothers me too. It looks like the corner is missing. I would replace it with an extra dark blue piece?

    I agree, the darkest blue would look nice there.

    Okay, the dark blue it is, and I also like the idea of the yellow in the other corner. Thanks for your help.

    Love the quilt! Would go with the same matching dark blue as the surrounding ones--I agree the white is distracting.

    Dina, I have always changed corner squares when they don't look right. Hang in there. You still got your borders to put on.
