It is NOT ugly!!!

I personally really like the blue, but the white is far from icky.

No matter which way you go, I think it would be stunning if you bind it using a dark blue.

Who told you it was ugly? As my brother said one time when we were very young and got my feelings hurt, "Do you want me to put a spider down her back?" I like the blue for the sashing.

I like the blue, and think it would look neat in my blue bedroom.

No quilt is ugly, maybe more "user friendly" than most, but first and foremost it is made to keep people warm.

OMGosh! That is NOT an ugly quilt!! My entire kitchen is cobalt blue and yellow and I LOVE the combination :) The combination is actually quite popular. It really will look great once it is together I promise :D Here is a link with lots of pretty pictures of the blue/yellow comination:

Well first of all it is not ugly at all. I prefer the blue. Very nice! Post when you are done OK? If you still don't like it I will pay for shipping to my house. LOL

I would use a solid blue main border along with a medium yellow with small blue print as accent border.. ..

It will be beautiful no matter how you make it..

i don't think its ugly its pretty to me, Hubby ask why we all say stuff we make is ugly, lol i told him i don't know i guess we expect it to come out differently (something we see in our heads etc) then we are dissatisfied with the out come, but ITS pretty to me

I like white for sashing, but I like your quilt no matter what you choose! Definitely not ugly.
