Remember the lime green shashing?
 

Remember I had posted on here a few days ago asking opinions on my shashing choice of lime green? Well hubby (and everybody else) thought it didn't go. So now I am asking what everybody thinks of this blue I have. Before I go cutting it up what does everybody think about this blue color for the shashing? I think it looks okay. But I'm still not sure.

looking at it after I uploaded it to the computer it definitely looks much better then the green. What are your thoughts?

I like the blue. It does change the "feel" of the quilt to vintage/traditional. The lime green (because it is a solid and bright) made the quilt look more modern. I think the blue sashing goes better with the blocks, which are also more on the traditional side than modern.

I like the blue, also. A lot better, with the blue. In away, it goes with the blue in your blocks also. With the lime green. It seems to stand out at me. Itseems to take away from your block. Go with the blue

I feel the same way Tartan.

Prism I feel like I lean more towards the look of "modern" quilts then traditional. But the lime just wasn't working. Maybe on my next project I can use up those lime pieces on a modern quilt :)

I prefer the blue. It has a calming effect on me. The green is a little too bright for the blocks.

Hate to admit it, but the blue looks great!!!

That blue fabric really pulls the blocks together. Great choice!

I like the blue better as well. Not to completely throw you off but have you considered a pale pink? The same pale pink that is in blue print in the blocks? A solid will give the quilt a more modern appearance.

I like the blue better.

That blue goes really nicely.

I'd go with the blue too. The green just doesn't coordinate well.

I think the blue is a much better choice.

YES! That is a great addition.

I think the blue looks lovely. Good selection. I tend strongly to modern quilts, but I think you have traditional blocks with traditional fabrics, so I would just go for it. This happened to me once too. I bought the fabric and then I thought, "Why did I get this. It looks like something my mom would have liked." But I finished the quilt, and it turned out just fine. It wasn't to my taste, but my wonderful neighbor loved it, so I gave it to her. She was thrilled.

Oh, yes, much better together. I love it.

this was my initial thought, too

The blue sashing is very chic - lovely!

It fits the feel of the quilt perfectly. Good job.

Sweeeeeeeet! Save the Lime green for a pink lemonade quilt!
peace

I'm definitely getting a vintage feel, but its the style of vintage with turquoise, cream, and grey tones (the muted purple is reading a little grey to me) that I see a lot of young brides wanting for their wedding colors, so its traditional but in a very current way.

If that makes you happy, yes, I would go with the blue !!

The blue is much better!

Way better! :thumbup:

Great choice. ...

It really changed it a lot. I like it better with the blue. Nice work.

I prefer the blue as well. More soothing as someone else has commented . The blocks stand out on their own now without the distracting green color. Good job!

Looking good!

Oh yes I agree, you did not say how you felt about it. Usually when we question our first choice we really find the perfect choice second around. Glad you reconsidered before you sewed :)

I think it looks so much better than the green.

Good job, looks a lot better with the print. save that green to use with black.

Really looks great with the blue!

I like the blue.

I find the blue sashing much more pleasing to the eye BUT remember, it is your quilt & you should do what YOU think is the best choice.

definitely the blue

MUCH BETTER!! The blue makes the quilt much more cohesive - with a unified color theme. Looks great!

First let me say its your quilt and if ya want green go for it!!!!

with that said, IMHO green was way over powering, the only thing my eye caught was teh green and not much else.. And the blue, it matches well and from my perspective from your pic it blends in a lil too much... too much blue...the actual blocks dont stand out, what about using the blue for sashing but add cornerstones to give it a lil umph.. or blocking the block perhaps... Again, your quilt your rules, just giving my two cents...

I like the blue better

it's blue for me too! what a difference it entirely took on a whole new look.
