I really like the yellow. It brings out the center of the Dresden Plates and makes the block stand out more. Though the white it nice, I think it washes out the blocks. Just my thoughts. Can't wait to see the finished product.

The yellow would be nice. However, with white sashing, the dresden plates float. Yeah, we aren't helping.

A dear friend of mine recently completed a quilt similar to this one. She used the same solid color sashing (soft green)with a different color solid cornerstone (soft yellow). It brought out the beauty of the blocks. Your quilt is wonderful.

I also would go with the lighter yellow. I love color, though! I think the white just melts into the white background of your blocks. Be sure to post a picture of how your top turns out.

I think that the light yellow color that you used for the centers of the flowers would look best. Only because you already have white that surrounds the Dresden Plates. Having white borders as well would just make it too much white - But that is just me.

Your opinion -- PLEASE!
definitely the pale yellow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the white is nice. It gives a floating look. But if you like bright, then I'd opt for #3. The yellow is a great sash.
