    PS: not sewn yet, just laid out.
    It is a lovely little quilt obviously made with care and love. some little guy will like it!

    I really like your idea of the green and brown with the red.....A young or older young man would like this combination.....

    I prefer the red also - it makes the blocks pop.

    I really love the blue , red is ok but the blue makes the squares stand out (pop)

    I like the Red! Blue doesn't do the stars justice.<object type="cosymantecnisbfw" cotype="cs" id="SILOBFWOBJECTID" style="width: 0px; height: 0px; display: block;"></object>

    do you have enough fabric to just put sashings of red around half the blks and blue around the other half? I think that would look great!!
