Kele, that's a wonderful, zippy color combo!
Beautiful batiks, happylab!
Christine, I think your color range is just beautiful I wouldn't change a thing.
NZquilter, I'm sorry you won't be able to start right in. I'm not counting the days, kind of the opposite -- trying not to think about it because it's so hard to wait!
Kassaundra, I think the eye would easily perceive the blues as equivalents in the quilt design, so if you prefer the blue scheme, I'd go with that.
I'm not sure I'd want that gold to be the most prominent color in the quilt, especially if you switch the light and dark color placement, because then the quilt will be darker overall, and that gold will really stand out. It's so hard to say, not knowing how the colors would be used. You probably don't have enough of the red to use that as the aqua and the gold as the coral?
