blue makes me feel happy

I like the blue. Gives it a nostalgic feel, which goes perfectly with your blocks.

The blue is nice, but I'd personally want to wake it up a bit. Try using your lime green as a flange (narrow folded border along the outer edge. Or maybe make cornerstone pieced blocks with some green. If neither of those does it for you, think about using the green as binding. Or use the green as smaller accents all 3 places.

The blue is much easier on the eye than the lime green. It gives the blocks a true vintage feel as well.

That's the right answer.

I totally agree with feline fanatic. I think the blue print in the sashing "fights" with the blue print in the blocks. If you could match the color of the flowers in the blocks (peachy pink?) with a solid color for the sashing, that might be a really nice complimentary color. But, as others have said, it's your quilt and you have to be happy with it!! Good luck and let us see final product.

I like the blue, it makes the eyes focus more on the lovely blocks.
