    it's pretty, i like the blue, maybe put a darker blue stripe before the light blue, but your quilt is very pretty so far.

    No it is not ugly. I like both the blue and the white, however I would take my blocks to a quilt show and lay them out on a pale yellow and also a pale blue. I also like the idea of using a dark blue for the binding.

    I like the BLUE, just remember it is your quilt so

    go with what you like or prefer, and listen to your quilt,

    sometimes they will tell you what they want. Listen!

    Blue and yellow are one of my fave combos ....

    I like the white the best, crisp, clean, bright. It is going to be stunning!

    I like both and I don't think it's ugly either. I like the colors and you'll love it when you are done. Good work!

    Your quilt will be very pretty which ever way you sash it, but I prefer the blue and dark blue binding. I quilt with a group at our community center and we quilt for other people, the money we make helps pay our bills for our center. We get a lot of old quilt tops that someones mother or grandmother or aunt made (you know what I am talking about) or maybe they bought it at a garage sale. Well some of them do look rather "ugly" and most of them have points that do not match and sashing squares that are not in line. When we get them quilted they really seem like different quilts. We have a saying about these kinds----quilting covers a multitude of piecing mistakes.

    The blue, definitely. Your blocks are so pretty. Why are we our own worst critics? Happiness to you
