    It will be just fine. Throw a wild border on the outside that encompasses all of your colors and that yellow is really going to make it "Pop".

    I'm with many others, I like the yellow. It you want to tone down the yellow with another border you need to go to the opposite color on the color chart. That color would line up between the reds and blues. I think black would make the yellow seem more bright. Not sure what I would do, but I like it like it is.

    I really like the yellow but I think I would put another color wider and bind in red.

    Ditto. It's a beautiful quilt and the yellow looks wonderful! I love scrappy quilts and you did a great job on it.

    Doesn't look bad. You could trim the out one narrower, then add another, darker border. Maybe that would help you like it better, just a thought...
