My bedroom walls have a cobalt blue in a batik look.

I will appreciate suggestions!

Very pretty colors ! I would audition different colors for joiner strips to see what actually looks best.

I'm too late to vote, I'm sure, but I just wanted to say how pretty your blocks are. Can't wait to see the finished top!

I don't have a color suggestion for you, besides you probably have gotten plenty by now. I do think your blocks are beautiful and I can't wait to see pics of it completed.

Wow, It's over 3 years since I posted that. I never did finish that quilt, my son took his life in Jan 2011 and I couldn't touch that quilt again, sold the unfinished quilt. I haven't sewed since then but I just saw a Strata Star table top that has made my fingers itch.
Last September we moved to Hilton Head SC so I feel I am in a different world, going to try that one.
