Opinions on colors
Hello all! I posted on here a few days ago about my shashing woes. The solution for me was getting the 2 1/2 strip die for my GO! Baby. I was able to get all my strips cut in about a half hour. It's amazing!!!
My husband thinks the Lime drowns out the other colors. What do you all think?

I am with your DH on this one. Save those lime green strips for a quilt done in brighter colors. It completely takes over your nice sampler blocks and does drown them out. If I spent all the time piecing those blocks, I would want them to be the star of the show. I would pick a very subdued sashing color that recedes into the background, I would try auditioning a light tan, ecru or cream color or gray like others have suggested. Or you can go in the opposite direction and see what a dark or chocolate brown sashing looks like. If you want your quilt to have a "pop" of color try auditioning cornerstones in a color that compliments your blocks but doesn't distract.

My hubby is so not crafty but it looks like he hit the nail on the head here. Lol
I think I'll try a nice blue. I do have a blue that is the little square in the striped square down at the bottom. Maybe that color could work
