I like the darker blue also. Makes the baloons pop more.

Thanks everyone! I will go with the darker blue. The stars will show better too. (Just received word I won't have much time to sew, my DH wants to remodel, and it has to be done by May. I will attempt to find 20 min/day though.)

Why not cut a wavy line and do both.

Love the bears and balloons. Can't wait to see it when it is done. Lucky child who gets it

You're not the first to suggest using both. I'm pondering the idea. Maybe 1/3 the way up with light blue??

I am planning on offering it to my niece who had a baby in Nov. (Cute as button.) If she has plenty, then it will go to charity which will auction it off in late May. It's always fun to see how much items bring in. Either way, I need to get it done soon.

That is going to be so cute. I like the idea of shading your sky area.

I posted a new pic. Balloon bears ready to applique. Thanks everyone for the advice!
