I started a snowman quilt for for sister-in-law but need to decide what color sashing and corner stones I should use with it. My color choices are red, white, or blue. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Red is my favorite color and makes things pop. Blue is also nice, but a bit toned down. White, I think blends too much (IMHO).

This is really beautiful.

I vote for blue. The white would work, too. Don't like the red at all. Of course, this is only one man's opinion.

I like the blue. I would use maybe blue and white print cornerstones or plain white ones.

I like the blue and I would use the snoman print you have in the block for the corner blocks. Just my opinion - post a picture when it's finished please.

I like the red; adds interest. Blue sashing would make a calmer quilt.

My thoughts: Red makes it look warmer, Blue makes it look a little cooler and the white makes it look "cold" - more like winter. So from there you can decide what "look" you want. The blocks look great! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
