I really like the light cream. It gives the over-all pattern lots of brightness and movement. By using the same light green in both blocks you have tied it all together nicely, but kept it interesting and not too predictable at the same time.

I'm trying to picture sashing, and think it may not add anything to the quilt.

BTW, Did you see one of your blocks has a corner put together differently from all the others?

Great start for a beginner!

I think it looks great and the colors go well together. What are you planning to use for sashing?

Ilove the colors and the contrast....You do not need to have everything "match" in a quilt........You could add sashing to this in a coordinating color, or just put the blocks together..........either way, it will be a eautiful quilt.

Blocks and colors look wonderful (fixing the one previously mentioned by MTS) It looks very comforting.

Wow! Good eye! I never would have picked that up.

I actually love it together. I think you should lay it out on a white sheet. Your carpet is probably mixing in the colors. I believe you might see a truer version on it by looking at it on a neutral color.
