The blue makes the lighter fabrics "pop"! And - it's your quilt - it's gorgeous!!

I love the selection of your fabric. Quilt is lovely and I like the blue sashing. Remember no quilt is ugly - they all develop there own charactor. Doris

Not ugly at all, the white sashing gives it a real lift.Perhaps you could put a stripped border using bits of all the fabrics in the blocks, or posts at the intersections.Just remember it will be unique, as most quilts are,even those that follow a pattern very rarely have the same fabric or quilting.You made it, be proud. Love :thumbup:

I was making a 9 patch 2" squares quilt for my grandson and I thought it was ugly until I got the sashings on and it quilted. Now I love it. Once you get it together you will love it too. It looks so much better when it's together and quilted. I like the blue.

I isn't ugly at all! I love the colors. I like the blue best. It will be beautiful no matter which color you choose. Can't wait to see the finished product. I would certainly love to have a quilt like that!

I like both the white or maybe a brighter blue. I would try different width borders in both yellow and blue fabric that you have used in the blocks. I really like it and am sure you will too, you just have to get that final vision in your "Mind's Eye".

I like the blue sashing better.

Finish it and ship it to me I like blue and yellow. It would go good in my blue bedroom too.

Blue,blue,blue. This color really brings ou the colors (which are really nice). I agree with the others there is nothing (repeat nothing) ugly about this quilt. You (we) are just to critical of our work. Be proud, good job.
