The blue for sure!

Definitely blue

I think you have pretty consistent answers here. I would like to see a variety of colors for the cornerstones, it will coordinate with your scrappy blocks. I think having too much consistency within your sashing is going to somehow visually conflict with the blocks. shoot, I think it would look good with scrappy inconsistent sashing too. but that's just me. love your blocks by the way!

Blue for sure and I would not use the tan as cornerstones.

Like the blue best. When I was just looking at the thumbnail photos, my eye went to the blue grid. I MHO they allow each block to shine in its own little frame rather than blend in with the tan frame. But... in the end, it is your quilt.

On my monitor - the blue looks "heavy" - and that's what I see first. Especially on the thumbnail pictures (which I don't like - but better than no pictures at all) , the blue looks like heavy grid lines with pale patterned centers.

while the tan is sort of "just there" - I think the blocks looked more vibrant with the tan sashing. I prefer the tan sashing.

I agree. Before enlarging the thumbnail pictures, the blue is dominant and the blocks are lost. The tan does nothing to compliment the blocks. I'd try another color--perhaps a yellow? That might be where your thought of the tan originated but it needs more pop that the tan provides. Pretty blocks--show them off!

Thanks everyone! Blue it is, and I think I will take your advice also to make the cornerstones scrappy...I have plenty of fabric left! https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/cool.png

Go blue! I like the contrast.

You might want to consider even a darker blue for your sashings. That will makes the blocks pop! The darker the fabric the more pop!
