    Do you have a favorite? If you like a soft color-- pearl gray, sage or soft mint green, pale blue, yellow or pink. Or bright or jewel tone. Birthstone color. some of the new ombre gradient fabric. Teals, med. or royal blue. I think you could do any color. So far I only read the first page. I'll have to stop back tomorrow to read the rest.

    I think royal blue would be nice.

    Red, yellow, lime green...any colors in the squares would be nice. I like this kind of scrappy quilt. I've got a top done and used black. One of these days I'll quilt it. haha I like the piecing process better than the actual quilting. Sewing bits of fabric together is a stress reliever for me. I also like the one with the white around each piece. I may have to try that one.

    What about the almost robin egg blue you have in some blocks. That would make it look either modern or retro!

    Thanks for posting a picture! Those are some wonderful looking blocks! Bright yellow would look great! My daughter really liked your picture and wants to do something similar with our scraps and said she would use teal blue (her latest favorite color).

    You DO KNOW :-) that you are definitely going to have to post a picture when finished and show us all your decision. I am sure we will be happy with whatever you choose because there are so many options suggested here.
