    I really thought this green was gonna look great. I'm glad I asked opinions! Thank you all so much

    Have to agree with DH. I think I'd sash in the blue that you have in the blocks. Your blocks are beautiful, by the way.

    Not sure if the colors on my screen are all that accurate. Definitely not the green [it is lime green to me.] Maybe try to get one of the colors in the block fabrics to be my sashing. Take you blocks to the LQS and audition the different colors. Take hubby with you too.

    What about a tiny white on white print for the sashing? I think it would show off the blocks and add a frosty look to the quilt.

    Frosty would look nice. The blocks have a frosted appearance.

    This was definitely my thought also.

    I'm definitely thinking a nice blue is gonna work. At least now I have my Go! Strip cutter so I can get it all cut up quickly

    Oh, wow, I absolutely love the lime, it really brings that quilt to life, hope you keep it.

    It's too harsh in my opinion. Any one of the dominant colors from the patterned fabric would work.
