    I have a lot of blue & white nine patch blocks. I just saw a nine patch & hour glass quilt. Need ideas for colors for my hourglass blocks. I'm thinking a blue floral & a yellow floral. The more I think about it the less I like it. Will probably be for a boy (donation quilt).

    If the blue and white are plain then the floral would work even for a boy.

    If you're donating it in the US, how about adding red or burgundy?

    If not... maybe gold?
