I like the purple one. Then the pink blocks don't disappear into the sashing~

Yooper32 02-11-2011 04:09 AM

The PINK.

Use all three.

thegypsy1968 02-11-2011 06:47 AM

Definitely pink sashing..OMG...Love it ..!!!

tomilu 02-11-2011 06:48 AM

I like the purple best. The other fights with some of your blocks.

MDMPanther 02-11-2011 07:01 AM

My vote is for the pink sashing and purple binding.....and I LOVE purple, but as I looked...the blocks did seem to POP with the pink!!! :-)

Anne Marie 02-11-2011 07:10 AM

I vote for pink.

TootieAnn 02-11-2011 07:25 AM

I like the pink sashing. Pretty colors! My eleven year old would love this!

sew4therapy 02-11-2011 07:30 AM

What pretty colors. I like the pink for the sashing. The purple seems to pop to much. Good luck.

irma tapia 02-11-2011 07:31 AM

I like the pink, with the purple I think your eye goes right to the purple and not the design. I love the quilt!

Crafty Chick 02-11-2011 08:22 AM

I like the pink-purple seems too busy for the blocks-love the butterfly backing-great job!

amazon 02-11-2011 08:26 AM

I like the pink for sashing and purple for the binding! You might use the purple for cornerstones too? :-D

grannypat7925 02-11-2011 08:42 AM

I like the purple best!

cjomomma 02-11-2011 09:39 AM

Ok you all! I have finished this quilt top and I used the pink for sashing and borders. It came out pretty good. Thank you for all the recommendations.

llcox 02-11-2011 09:47 AM

I agree. Purple lets the blocks shine thru.

I agree the purple lets the blocks shine thru. They are lost in the pink.

If it's not too late, I like the idea of white or WOW sashing. Maybe the WOW could be with a butterfly pattern. Then the blocks would stand out and the white would work with the pretty backing.

purple

I like the pink too.

bjnicholson 02-11-2011 10:56 AM

Purple

ka9sdn 02-11-2011 11:56 AM

I think the purple makes the blocks stand out more than the pink.

BizzieLizzie 02-11-2011 12:25 PM

Love the purple combo!

DoxieMom 02-11-2011 01:43 PM

Although purple is my favorite color, I'm voting for the pink sashing here. It makes the blocks rock!

I agree. I love to work with 3 borders. Guess that's my asymmetrical side. I would make the purple no larger than one inch, then two and whatever for the last border.

rismstress 02-11-2011 04:30 PM

The purple makes it pop.

misoop 02-11-2011 05:44 PM

Pink sashing.

linhawk 02-11-2011 06:18 PM

I like the pink. Love the backing and agree that the purple border would look nice.

Nettie Phillips 02-11-2011 06:29 PM

That is pretty. I like the purple sashing best. Makes it all
pop.

NCquilter 02-11-2011 06:33 PM

I like the purple because I think your blocks sorta get lost in the pink.

coffeecat 02-11-2011 07:00 PM

Since I am in a purple phase, I would go with that.

Betty K 02-11-2011 07:13 PM

I like the purple but not with dots - when the pink is next to the blocks they sort of flow out into the sashing. If you had a narrow purple marble & then the pink that would be great. IMHO

Berta48 02-11-2011 08:57 PM

I like the pink sashing.

KSue 02-11-2011 10:08 PM

I like the purple.

nycbgirl 02-11-2011 10:11 PM

I like both, but the pink is rather soothing to my eyes.
