I think it is perfect. Can't wait to see the end result

It's beautimous. I think it works well and wouldn't change a thing. When finished, your sister would love, love, love it (hint, hint)

Sorry, Sis, this quilt has my name on it! (Like I don't have enough quilts already, huh?) It is on my design wall now if you want to come look at it.

I think it is just fine. You would not want it to be too close to the other print. It is just dark enough to stand out.

The blues are perfect!!

I think it looks good. Sometimes it's hard to get nice contrast with monochromatic quilts. This works.

If you're trying to emphasize the striped part, you have the right color, I think, but if it's the squares, it's too dark. The geometric lines are the first thing I saw, if that helps any.

It's definitely a pretty combination.

I agree with Charlotte. Your contrast with the darker blue really makes that color stand out. If that is what you are looking for--great. If not, you may need to choose a softer blue.

I think it looks stunning!
