    Im concerned that my blocks with the blue frames will blend in too much. Should I use dark blue sashing with light blue cornerstones or light blue sashing with dark blue cornerstones?

    I suppose I'd use the blue that is the strongest contrast to the blue of the blocks as my sashing and the other as cornerstones. Have you considered a small print for your sashing. That might solve the problem.

    The dark blue sashing really makes the kitties stand out. Though you would then want light blue cornerstones, some of the frames are light blue, I would move those away from the cornerstones. Just a thought. Nice design!

    I vote for the dark blue for the sashing without any cornerstones.

    Cute blocks! I am leaning towards the lighter blue for sashing because the lighter colour seems to fade into the background and lets the blocks be the focus but either colour will look nice.

    Very pretty so far. I would use the dark blue for sashing and light blue cornerstones.

    I say light blue sashing because it makes both the cats and the darker frames stand out more. Not sure I'd do cornerstones. You might want to lay several down to see if they add to, or detract from, the cats.
