Is this blue too dark?

I have been wanting to make a Warm Wishes pattern for myself. I have finally figured out that I really prefer two color quilts. But....do you think the blue is too dark in the strips on this? I have just cut out enough to get a feel for it, as that seems to be the only way I can even begin to visualize a quilt.

I'm not sure why you would think it is too dark.
It looks like it picks up the darker blue in the mix of the print.
You have a good contrast to frame the blocks and it is creating a nice linear and tailored look.

Thanks, I just needed to hear from someone else that it looked okay. It is darker than I had visualized, but...I do have trouble visualizing. The design wall in my head needs some work, I think. :)

I do that, too. Which is why I have so many stray 3 1/2" squares. :(

If you're trying to emphasize the striped part, you have the right color, I think, but if it's the squares, it's too dark. The geometric lines are the first thing I saw, if that helps any.

It's definitely a pretty combination.

Hugs,

It looks perfect to me. The blue and white stripe is a good contrast, it was a great idea to photograph it, if it had been too dark, it would look that way in the photo.

Looks just right to me, also! :)

I like it! A lighter blue would make the white and blue blocks look kind of washed out.
