OK, here are 3 blocks of a huge quilt I'm making for my daughter. Do you think the colors look okay and not garish??? I had formally picked a light neutral background for the corners of the snowball but I thought it looked "washed out".

What do you all think????

Thanks in advance for your help!! :-)

Looks great to me.

Sewjoyce,

I like the color combo of your blocks.
They compliment each other.

Deara

And me, I think I've got some of your beige background - is it little navy stars all over?

Sorry, the 'and me' was agreeing with quilt4U then Deara jumped in between - must ALWAYS quote what I'm replying to!!!

Yes it has little navy stars all over. I had just enough to cut out for the blocks unless I messed up. In which case, I'll be begging you to send me yours :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Just holler Joyce, I'd be happy to, although it was only an FQ and I've already cut into it; think I bought it online from the UK so I'm sure I could find it again if you were stuck.

You're so sweet -- thanks!!!!

You can't go wrong with red, white and blue in my opinion. Very pretty!

Absolutely Belinda, good ol' Union Jack (!)
Oh, and the Stars and Stripes of course!

Well, I think the colors are GREAT!
It is going to be very striking, hope
you will post a pic when it is finished.

I like it alot!

Love the colors. Just right. Can't wait to see the whole quilt.

Looks great to me.

I have to agree with everyone else. I love good ole RW&B.

It looks good. In the long run the darker colors will show soil less and the seam allowances don't bleed through color wise.

I love it too! :wink: I'd keep the red. I love all those colors together.

Looks good to me! Bright--nice contrast.

Very Pay...tree-otic....:-)

I love the fabrics, it's going to be gorgeous! :)

LOOKS GOOD TO ME!! The colors are always in style :-)

i love it

perfect

I think it just looks great :lol:

I like the way the red in the snowball pulls out the red in the star. It's very pretty!

You made a good choice in the red. Looks great :-) Anxious to see it...be sure to post pictures of your progress.

I think I have some of that fabric also, so if you need more I could part with a yard or so...........let me know if you need it. I love the quilt and I am sure it will turn out lovely.

Perfect!! :-) :-) I have rwb stars from last years BOM. I too am doing snowballs between. I sewed on white but thankfull didn't trim the corners off yet. I hate the white--like you said washed out. So now my snowballs will be red with blue corners.

The colors look great. Nice balance of light and dark. This will beautiful when done.

I really like it. Try a star with a blue background to see what happens. I think it is turning out very well.
Please send a pic of the completed project.

I love it. Looks great to me and not at all garish. :thumbup:
