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.

My bedroom walls have a cobalt blue in a batik look.

I will appreciate suggestions!

Very pretty colors ! I would audition different colors for joiner strips to see what actually looks best.

I think a creamy white would be gorgeous:)

I'm too late to vote, I'm sure, but I just wanted to say how pretty your blocks are. Can't wait to see the finished top!

I don't have a color suggestion for you, besides you probably have gotten plenty by now. I do think your blocks are beautiful and I can't wait to see pics of it completed.

Wow, It's over 3 years since I posted that. I never did finish that quilt, my son took his life in Jan 2011 and I couldn't touch that quilt again, sold the unfinished quilt. I haven't sewed since then but I just saw a Strata Star table top that has made my fingers itch.
Last September we moved to Hilton Head SC so I feel I am in a different world, going to try that one.

Cute blocks! My first impulse was to go with white.

jcrow 04-13-2014 02:19 PM

I don't think I would go for stripes. I'd do a darker blue. It would really be pretty.

Elaine you have my deepest sympathy. Maybe along with the move along with the Strata Star table top, may ease your pain. Please post your star.
