    Ditto! I agree with the blue sashing.

    You have mastered the block beautifully
    I would sash the blocks, in a deeper blue.
    Great colour combination too.
    Love this

    I have no opinion on sashing or borders, just wanted to tell you how wonderful I think your block is and your quilt will be beautiful no matter how you choose!!

    You will get as many suggestions as you get posts. Yes the colors are great together and I would use whatever suits yourself for the binding. You will know what you like for it by the time you get it finished

    Looks like I'm in the minority, but I vote for the brown for sashing. Brown is so HOT this year in baby items. Took me a while to get use to it, but like black the brown will give it some pop.
    Whatever you pick your family will adore it - you made it - your love is in it and that is obvious by the fact that you would put so much effort into fabric choices.

    Thanks everyone for the kind words and ideas.. but I bleeped when I did this quilt. I did not prewash any of the flannel, so now the entire quilt will need to be redone and this time..not in flannel then. I am so glad that a board member brought up the prewash question on this post. So I doubt anyone will get to see the finished quilt.. as it will now look horrible since I did not prewash. First time using all flannel, and I am not a prewasher of fabric to start with. So me being a newbie self learner..I never gave it a thought. Lesson learned..

    Your block is looking lovely. I think that the choice of colours and patterned fabric is gorgeous. I agree with the others that a darker blue sashing will look nice. Best wishes.
