The blue makes the lighter fabrics "pop"! And - it's your quilt - it's gorgeous!!

I love the selection of your fabric. Quilt is lovely and I like the blue sashing. Remember no quilt is ugly - they all develop there own charactor. Doris

Not ugly at all, the white sashing gives it a real lift.Perhaps you could put a stripped border using bits of all the fabrics in the blocks, or posts at the intersections.Just remember it will be unique, as most quilts are,even those that follow a pattern very rarely have the same fabric or quilting.You made it, be proud. Love :thumbup:

I rather like the blue that you are showing.

it makes the blocks stand out...

I was making a 9 patch 2" squares quilt for my grandson and I thought it was ugly until I got the sashings on and it quilted. Now I love it. Once you get it together you will love it too. It looks so much better when it's together and quilted. I like the blue.

I isn't ugly at all! I love the colors. I like the blue best. It will be beautiful no matter which color you choose. Can't wait to see the finished product. I would certainly love to have a quilt like that!

I like both the white or maybe a brighter blue. I would try different width borders in both yellow and blue fabric that you have used in the blocks. I really like it and am sure you will too, you just have to get that final vision in your "Mind's Eye".

I like the blue sashing better.

Finish it and ship it to me I like blue and yellow. It would go good in my blue bedroom too.

Your quilt to be is very pretty wait till it is done.

Blue,blue,blue. This color really brings ou the colors (which are really nice). I agree with the others there is nothing (repeat nothing) ugly about this quilt. You (we) are just to critical of our work. Be proud, good job.
