Opinions please

Hi everyone! I need some opinions from this awesome group! I'm making the Warm Wishes quilt for my grandson's graduation gift. The center will be there snowboard theme. What I'm second guessing myself is the sashing around the squares using the black, blue and woodlands fabric. Do you think these colors will be OK, or should I go back to the drawing board?

Thanks!

I like what you have picked out

Cool snowboard fabric! I personally like the others too, but think the woodland one is too busy with the active snowboard fabric. I would audition a tone on tone of red or yellow or orange. Maybe the woodland for binding?

Very nice. The only thing I'd add is if there is some way (borders maybe???) to work in a bit of that red or yellow or orange that the snowboarders are wearing. Or you could maybe even just work that in with the quilting thread color. Other than that, it all goes nicely together & I love that snowboarding fabric. How fun!

I like the three you've chosen a lot and I bet your grandson will too. Looks very up to date. I like it without the orange and yellow in the border. Your grandson is lucky to have you.

I would use a less busy print in the center. What about a red or orange print and use the black for the center? My most recent Warm Wishes which I made the center square 8" finished.

I really like what you've chosen. I think the woodland print will be fine, as long as it is not right next to the snowboarder print. This is just my taste, but I would avoid adding a red/orange/yellow; I think it would take away from the snowboarders.

I like your choices. They look good with the focus fabric. Perfect for a grandson's graduation quilt, I think!

They look great! Just separate the woodlands fabric from the snowboarders so it won't look too busy.
