This would also eliminate all the extra cutting and piecing required to insert the sashing. Am I out of line here? Hope not. :thumbdown: Sorry, forgot to actually answer your question. I go with the yellow because it's a nice contrast and also blends with the center of each of your flowers. You have some other very pretty colors that would blend well so you really have a nice choice..
That's good rule of thumb! I hadn't thought of that. Will do it on future quilts
thanks
