I also love the blue and yellow. Either the blue or white sashing would look nice but I am wondering what yellow would look like. I think that would give it a 30's look and you have less yellow in your blocks than the other colors.

I like both colors. Blue and yellow are my happy colors. My kitchen is blue and yellow. I have a room done in blue and yellow. When it is all done it will be beautiful. My very first wall hanging/quilt was blue and yellow!!!

I like the blue sashing...it brightens up the yellow pieces. I'm going to be the oddball here because I do think there is such a thing as an ugly quilt. But you DO NOT win that prize with this quilt. I love where you're headed with this quilt. Blue and yellow combo is very pretty. If you can't bear to look at this "ugly" quilt when you are done, please send it to me. I'd love to look at it for you.
