I think barely off white. Your blocks are beautiful. This board is so inspirational. Be sure you post a picture when finished. I know we would all love to see it.

Beautiful blocks!

I like the blue/white fabric or the creamy one next to the pink.

Although, I like the polka dot also. I think it should be kept to one of the fabrics already used.

Thanks so much for your help, I will surely post photos when I am done, I think this is going to be a dandy quilt!

The polka dots are great. I'm glad you're heading in this direction. It adds something, but not too much to the soft loveliness of the quilt. Great job!

White or dark blue would work really well with this. They are really pretty!

I don't know what color to use as the joiner strips. I think this will be the most important choice for the success of this quilt.

Audition the blocks over several different fabrics. That way you can truly visualize what the final product will look like. Try 1)lights/whites 2) mediums 3) darks.

I think if it were mine (wish it was) i'd try to match the wall
color. Especially since that is where the quilt will be used.Then line it with same. This reminds me of my grandmother's
"string quilt" peiced on squares of paper from and old Sear's and Roebuck catalog. Your colors are goergeous. Please post a pic when quilt is finished

How about trying a cream color. Lay a cream strip down between the blocks and step away and see how it works for you. I love your colors. They are my favorites. Good luck with your decision.
