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.
