    Lovely quilts Leona!

    I'm not sure whether you got frustrated and never made a decission on this or not..But, thought I'd put my 2 cents in lol..
    I can't tell if it's just my eyes but, some of the blocks atop the white background look different than the ones atop the blue... I love the blocks that are on the white background but on top of the blue background..
    And for something a little bolder that would pop> The darkest square patch on the white has an awesome blue in it that I think would make an excellent sashing. Especially if it were tonal to add depth..Or a green, same shade as some of the leaves in one of the floral prints.. Ahh blue yellow and green, great combo.
    (ok, Although, I'm an artist/paint. I'm a total quilting beginner. So diseguard advice if needed. But, dang it..I wanted to comment on one of these threads lmao)..

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. From what I'm reading, you need to take a new look at your quilt as all of us agree that it is beautiful. How you finish it doesn't matter as long as it pleases you and you finish it. When it's quilted, it will change again. Nice job

    NOT UGLY!!!! I like the white sashing strips. If you do not like the way it turns out, someone will love it and appreciate it. I love blue and yellow quilts. Made one for my sister and one for my MIL and they both loved theirs.

    I really like the white a lot better than the blue. I would think about putting corner stones in the quilt. By the way it is not ugly at all.

    I totally agree with Aunt Bea..I find with so many projects I love them when they are finally complete..And if I by chance I dont..I just keep adding until I eventually do(ie:different borders)9 times out of 10 this works..
