Hi Leonajo I vote for the blue that you have on the right.
Very pretty. I like it. |
Not ugly !!! ...nice work instead...I like the white, lets the blocks shine more...the blue one makes it more subtle.
|
Definitely the blue.
|
White works best for me. Once you're done, you will love it.
|
I don't think it is ugly at all! I prefer the blue for sashing.

I like the blue the white is kind of blinding,it kind of detracts from the blocks themselves. But one you get it put all together, I'm sure you will change your mind about not likeing it. It's very pretty.

It's going to be a very pretty quilt, not at all ugly. I personally like the blue and I don't think that you will need the little white squares. Just my opinion of course.
|
I would use the dark blue for sashing,then after you have all the blocks put together, I would use yellow for one border and blue for another border,just narrow borders.
|
I would go with a dark blue...I think that will make it sing! There are no ugly quilts...they are all individual and beautiful in their own way. Yours is old fashioned and homespun looking and I liked it. It will look better to you with the sashing.

I don't think it's ugly at all!! I love the colors and either the blue or white would be cute. Hang in there, don't get discouraged.

After u have probably sewn everything together, I think a darker blue than the mediums and lighter than the darkest blues would work well.
The other color that might work would be a bright yellow. Either way, I love blue and yellow quilts!!!!! |
Ugly really??? I don't think so. I love the quilt. I think it has great colors. I like the white is best. The blue is nice too.. I think once you have it all put together and quilted you will love it. Be proud of it cause it is really good!
|
Not white!! I would actually go a darker blue. Dark tends to make things look more regal.
|
certainly not an ugly quilt. It's coming along quite nicely. I think the blue sashing pops it out more. Or you might try a yellow or a little darker blue. Choice is yours. I love the blue/yello combo
