Default I need opinions please...

I need to know a few things..

This will be for my Godson's little baby boy due August 3rd. So it has to be very special. Just a tad background.. we are extremely close as his mom is my DH sister...his dad is my brother. So we spend lots of time together. We camp together.. vacation together..


1st Are the colors good together?
2nd What color should I use for sashing?

I will be alternating one block like this with one block the dotted fabric (with stars and moons embroidered on them)

This is my very first attempt at this type of block.. and trying to read online directions.. this is also all flannel fabric.

Thanks in advance..

Faye

I think I'd like to use the solid medium blue of the pinwheel or maybe a darker blue. Very cute pattern. Good luck. And if I read your post right, my sister and I are married to brothers, so sort of the same "family dynamic". It really makes gatherings fun.

I think I also would go for a darker blue for the sashing. Pretty block and the colors are great.

The block is really cute. I don't know that I would sash it.

I like the colors and would use brown for the sashing.

I would use a darker blue for the sashing and a brown for the intersections of the sashings (cornerstones). I will be very pretty when you are done with it.

Colors are perfect for a little boy, and I too, would use the darker blue for the sashing.

I agree with roadrunr darker blue sashing with brown cornerstones, it would be nice to pull some of the brown from the polka dot block.

Me too - darker blue sashing with brown cornerstones would be very pretty and boy-like.

Oh, that's such a pretty block! I love your fabric choices! I agree with others, to go with the darker blue, for sashing.
