I am hoping to finish this top today but I can't decide which colors work best. I like them both but............... I will load 2 pictures of each so give me a couple of minutes.

purple dots on purple for sashing. It is lighter then the picture.

Put the purple next to the blocks, add a small border of pink and then a larger border of butterflies.

Use all three.

Sapphire_Rae 02-10-2011 11:30 AM

That is cute!! I like the pink sashing, makes my eye see the blocks not the sashing. Pretty back fabric.

Prayerquilter 02-10-2011 11:31 AM

I agree with Tcharlie, Love the colors...your doing great.

JenBlossom 02-10-2011 11:32 AM

I agree with Sapphire, I like the pink. But I think the purple would be a pretty binding or outer border. Love your color choices!

Butterflies are gonna be the backing.

I hadn't thought about that but you are right.

Now that is a good idea.

CoventryUK 02-10-2011 11:34 AM

I like both but think I would go pink!! Beautiful blocks!!!

alaskasunshine 02-10-2011 11:34 AM

I love the pink too. The purple draws your eyes away from your lovely blocks! IMHO :thumbup:

I agree. Any "girly" girl would love it either way.

Hi there! How have you been?

Pink sashing and purple binding

Leota 02-10-2011 11:37 AM

purple sashing... the pink swallows the blocks
butterflies for backing :D very pretty

amma 02-10-2011 11:39 AM

I really like the pink for sashing and the purple for the binding :D:D:D

cjomomma 02-10-2011 11:40 AM

Looks like the pink is gonna win. I will watch for ten more minutes then start cutting the sashing but ironing it first.

quilter2 02-10-2011 11:40 AM

Pretty quilt, I like the pink sashing with the purple for the binding. Pretty backing.

Jim's Gem 02-10-2011 11:54 AM

Ok, I will be different. I like the purple better. The pink "blends" in too much with the blocks. The purple sets them off, IMHO

cjomomma 02-10-2011 11:57 AM

Looks like the pink wins. I really like the idea of using the purple for binding.
Thank you everyone for helping me out here.

isewhappy 02-10-2011 11:58 AM

IMHO the blocks get lost in the pink and pop on the purple. Just depends on how you want to "present" them.

Prism99 02-10-2011 11:59 AM

Purple for the sashing!!! With pink binding.

lydialee 02-10-2011 12:04 PM

I love the purple.

Elisabrat 02-10-2011 12:05 PM

purple the pink gets lost as the blocks have big pink areas near the sides

sewwhat85 02-10-2011 01:04 PM

i love the purple

lallyann 02-10-2011 01:12 PM

I think I like the pink better. Which ever you use its going to be a beautiful quilt! I am loving your bright colors :)

I agree. The blocks run together with the pink sashing. Too much pink next to pink. The purple makes each block stand out.

caliquocat 02-10-2011 01:31 PM

I have to be different. I like the purple. The pink just dissolves into the blocks, IMO of course, take it for what it's worth. :-)

mollymct 02-10-2011 01:41 PM

I really liked the purple when I first saw it, but the pink grew on me, too. It's going to be cute!

that's my thinking as well. I think you have a delightful quilt going.

0tis 02-10-2011 01:51 PM

I like the pink also - I love the backing fabric.

McDarla 02-10-2011 02:05 PM

I like purple for sashing... Great colors! Have fun! =)

Yep, ditto !!!

Cherylsea 02-10-2011 03:39 PM

I have to be contrary - I like the purple with the pink as the binding. Will be cute any way you choose.

sueisallaboutquilts 02-10-2011 06:13 PM

PINK PINK PINK!!!!

cjomomma 02-10-2011 06:22 PM

I did the sashing in pink and the border will be pink too. I couldn't get it done today because my boys were driving me nuts.

Dee Dee 02-10-2011 06:27 PM

I don't really see purple in the other blocks. I love purple, but have found if you don't use in in sashing or borders and don't have purple in the blocks, it really doesn't blend well.
