I vote for blue
Welcome to the Quilting Board!

I vote for blue
I love the batik! Imho the blue is much fresher looking, and brightens the quilt. I think the black looks a little dull.
Always have a good attitude, don't cut corners, and go with your instincts.
Either would work but I think the black makes the star blocks "pop"; whereas, the blue itself
"pops" and maybe takes away from the pretty star blocks. Whatever appeals to you is what's most important.
Show a picture when it is done. Thanks.
I AGREE with everyone. I like the black and the blue. And maybe a batik gray.
I prefer the black but I would say use whichever you like best as they both look good!
Black, it makes the blocks POP!!
I like the blue, really brightens up the blocks. Black works ok. blue adds "sparkle".
Black will keep the colors from running together, I vote black.

Four things you can't recover: The stone.....after the throw. The word......after its said. The occasion.....after its missed. The time......after its gone
Depends ... do you have any blue blocks? If so, depending on the value of the blocks they might get lost with a blue sashing. Audition at least two blue blocks, if they blend too much then the black is a clear choice.
May your stitches always be straight, your seams always lie flat, and your grain never be biased against you.
