Fraew - your blocks are great!!! they all have been and youre right we are hardest on ourselves!! I kept questioning whether I really really wanted to mix those off white and white backgrounds myself. [I think we 'talked' about that before - doing the same stuff!] I personally decided to address my 'problem' the Bonnie Hunter way - by finishing my Jane her way. I will make the sashing somewhat wider - actually quite a bit wider - they are now 1/2" finished, they will be 2" and use "storm at sea" sashing mixing white with off white in the sashing to bring it together and I think I will use the fabrics in my blocks as part of the corner stones. Someone posted her quilt earlier [may have been you?? since it is in pinks]
