I llike the plaid, but I would try to cut it so it would look like a stripe or cut it on the bias. I would use matching thread to applique the pieces down, or to simplify your life, use black or transparent thread. It would probably be best to use the transparent/translucent thread - it would make your life easier all the way around.

I like either of the two darker ones. Cute quilt. Some little boy is going to be very happy.

If you do this, starch, starch and starch then pin, pin and pin or it will get wonky on you. ;-)

I like the plaid - I did see that someone said cut it on the bias but I would be very careful about doing that because of the stretching; it would be hard to keep the blocks and rows straight.

I agree, the plaid would make great sashing. The others seem too busy and would distract from your adorable blocks.
