This is a UFO's from 2008. It is a LQS BOM. I finished the blocks I had, but have no matching fabric for finishing except the cornerstones. The yellow fabric is 100% cotton and the blue feels like is a blend of cotton/poly.

Which looks the best to you? I am trying to use stash fabric. I have enough of both for sashing boarders and binding. I will use the yellow for backing.

All ideas welcome.
Thanks,
Tin

I like the yellow best

MawMaw B 08-14-2011 01:53 PM

I like the blue, also

Mickey1 08-14-2011 01:55 PM

I love the yellow.

MadQuilter 08-14-2011 01:55 PM

Both are pretty but I like blue a little better.

Joan 08-14-2011 01:56 PM

I'm votin' for the yellow!

spartan quilter 08-14-2011 01:56 PM

Blue, since you are using yellow on the back.

mzzzquilts 08-14-2011 02:01 PM

My vote is blue, lovely quilt, good job!

alikat110 08-14-2011 02:02 PM

Blue.

I am not a big fan of yellow but it looks the best to me :)Nicely done

tinliz 08-14-2011 02:17 PM

So far it is 6 blue and 4 yellow. Thank you for your quick responses. Think I will wait to see if there any more and what they are.

#1. The blue sets off the quilt perfectly with the yellow corner coins. IT MAKES ALL THE BLOCKS SHINE

mcdaniel023 08-14-2011 02:45 PM

I like the blue, also. Nice blocks!

I love the blue. Beautiful blocks.

SueDor 08-14-2011 03:03 PM

I like both so I can't help you!

Vicky K 08-14-2011 03:08 PM

I like the yellow, but would say blue since you are using yellow on back.

LindaM49 08-14-2011 03:31 PM

#1 - I vote for the blue too. It sets off the colors much nicer...IMHO. And as someone else said...since you are using yellow for the backing.

quilter68 08-14-2011 03:33 PM

yellow!

mom-6 08-14-2011 04:22 PM

To my eye, the blue frames the blocks and draws you in, whereas the yellow just doesn't have the same sense of completion to it. If you use the yellow I would be sure to use the blue for binding.

Stitchnripper 08-14-2011 04:37 PM

Blue for me.

nativetexan 08-14-2011 04:39 PM

that is a hard one. blue best, but yellow is fine too.

sushi 08-14-2011 04:47 PM

If I were you, I'd use one color as a narrow sash (finished width 1/2" or less) and the other as the wider sash that you've already planned. I don't think it'll matter which color is used for which purpose, but I'm sure the overall effect will be much more stunning than anything you can achieve using only one fabric.

Just my humble opinion, of course.

Love this idea but I would use the blue as the sash closest to the blocks - makes them "pop" to me. just my 2 cents

bigsister63 08-14-2011 04:54 PM

Like I always ask. what is the color of the room it is to be used in or what is the person's favorite color? Actually I like the blue! with yellow corrnerstones!

Cyn 08-14-2011 04:55 PM

Yellow :)

akrogirl 08-14-2011 05:03 PM

Another vote for blue :-)

fraydknot12326 08-14-2011 05:38 PM

#1 with the Blue ~

Dina 08-14-2011 05:43 PM

Blue

Kas 08-14-2011 05:44 PM

Hmmm. I think the blue. I like the yellow, but it makes the blocks look like they are floating in space. The blue ties them down.

luana 08-14-2011 06:21 PM

I'm usually a big fan of yellow, but I think the blue looks richer.

Sienna's GiGi 08-14-2011 07:53 PM

yellow

Grace173 08-14-2011 07:58 PM

Number 3 for me :)

caliquocat 08-14-2011 11:08 PM

I'd go with the blue.

sherry mcd 08-15-2011 03:07 AM

Blue, blue,blue!
