This is my new project, queen size QAYG 12" blocks.

I don't know what color to use as the joiner strips. I think this will be the most important choice for the success of this quilt.

My bedroom walls have a cobalt blue in a batik look.

I will appreciate suggestions!

I'd go with white or WOW. Another thought would be light blue. What ever you choose it will 'frame' the blocks.

I think it needs a pop color, maybe a little darker blue.
I also like the darkest burgandy in the flowers like Mitches Mom suggested.

Burgundy or a deep green would be pretty or a WOW to keep it all bright and light :D:D:D

I have no idea, I usually audition the pieces to make my final decision - it's a visual thing for me.

But I love your block colors. Very nice choice.

I'd audition a white or a soft cream color or even a baby pink. White seems a little harsh to me, but cream may not coordinate with the white in the fabrics. A very soft pink would solve both problems. The colors, patterns and placement of those in your block are just beautiful.
