Which corner stone works best?

I'm making my first 4-patch posie and having trouble deciding which corner stone is most attractive.
What do you think?

How about going scrappy and scattering them by using a variety of colors. Maybe even add an orange. Try that and post a picture if you like it. But if force to choose between the pink and the yellow, I prefer the pink. You picked a perfect print for you 4 patch posie. GREAT job well done.

I like the pink over the yellow but would look for a dark green if it was mine.

Of the two, i like the pink best.

I like ManiacQuilter2's idea the best - go scrappy with the cornerstones, and take the colors from the blocks. It will add a lot to a very pretty quilt if you have a number of different colored cornerstones.

I totally agree with DebbE and ManiacQuilter2. But of course I love anything scrappy. Between the yellow and pink, I like the pink better. You have a lovely quilt started, and I like the green sashing.

Agree with Maniac ... mix them up. Throw an orange and a true red into the mix.

Or make the cornerstones a little 4 patch of pink and yellow (or even add reds and oranges into the mix).

But if you are sold on just one color ... I like the pink.

i prefer the yellow ones. the red ones seem to draw my eye away from your pretty blocks

I vote for the yellow.

Thank you for all the replies. My DH has given his opinion for the yellow. Will just finish all the blocks and sashing this weekend and then decide. I'll try to post another photo then. Finally got this one sent but not totally sure how!
