While I'm waiting for new fabric to arrive (the local quilt shop is a bit of a drive and my working hours are such that it's easier to buy online than in person, especially if I'm looking for something in particular), I decided to change things up a bit...
This is the quilt as it stands on the wall...the white is stuff I had in stash, some of it already in 2.5 inch wide strips. I'd need to cut more to the right length and cut some of the longer ones down to five inches from 8.5 inches to fit the short ends. But I think the quilt needs more yellow and I wondered if a pale yellow instead of white might be a nice contrast to the bold colors, while keeping with K's color scheme.
I pulled a solid fat quarter out and played with a layout. I think I like it better than the white - it softens things without taking away from the energy of the prints. Anyone else like this better?
I definitely vote for the soft yellow.

Now... I actually thought it was done with ivory when I looked at the other pics - but agree that the softer yellow is much better than the white I see in these pics .... As you said, it softens it without taking anything away.

Definitely the yellow. It seems to soften without taking from the other colors. It is much better. At least in my opinion.

Oh yeah ... much better than the white. Softer.
