The last photo really is an attention grabber! I like this one.

Rubesgirl 09-11-2013 03:40 AM

I like no. 3, the gold with the red plaid cornerstones. It makes me happy to look at it and the plaid is so Christmassy. :)

twinkie 09-11-2013 03:50 AM

It is a beautiful quilt. I like the darker sashing.

glorcour 09-11-2013 04:04 AM

Like the red sashing but not the yellow cornerstones. I would suggest the green

mummadee 09-11-2013 04:07 AM

My vote would be for the first one. It seems lighter and brighter.

piepatch 09-11-2013 04:13 AM

Definitely # 3 with the gold sashing! Second choice would be the last one.

Nanny's dollface 09-11-2013 04:29 AM

Either the 3rd or last sashing pic. The other sashing fabrics are either too light or too dark. Nicely done

Seaside gal 09-11-2013 04:30 AM

I like picture #3 best. That was my first thought and I'm sticking with it. Pretty fabrics.

Me too. It brings out the colors and brightens it up without being too glaring!!

I like the red too....very lovely quilt btw!

bigsister63 09-11-2013 04:56 AM

I like picture # 3!!!!! Pretty quilt!!!!!

WisWis 09-11-2013 04:59 AM

I especially like the last one.

lfletcher 09-11-2013 05:06 AM

I prefer the gold sashing. I think it really brings some life to your quilt. I like the colors and if you prefer a more subtle look, I think that would be ok too.

Quiltngolfer 09-11-2013 05:38 AM

I like the red too. Your fabric is beautiful, and the pattern is nice too. I can't wait to see the finished quilt.

klgls 09-11-2013 05:42 AM

I like the red sashing with gold cornerstones. Pretty quilt! - Makes me long for cooler temps - tired of these high 90s we have been having!

I like #3 and all plaid cornerstones. 2nd choice is red sashing. Love the quilt.

Passionate Quilter 09-11-2013 05:48 AM

I like #3, it seems to brighten up the beautiful quilt blocks. Second best is #6 if being truly "Christmasy" is your aim. Whatever you choose, your quilt is going to be beautiful, your work is excellent.

I agree, but I would use the white/green as cornerstones.

cpcarolyn 09-11-2013 06:36 AM

I vote for the red sashing.

Scissor Queen 09-11-2013 06:38 AM

I think any one of the darker ones will work fine. The white is just too stark. You might think about adding more interest by doing stars in the sashing.

nativetexan 09-11-2013 06:39 AM

I liked the red. green was it until I saw the red.

bearisgray 09-11-2013 06:42 AM

I like the narrow red sashing with green cornerstones. I don't care for the lighter colors at all with it.
The blocks have a warm and cozy feel.

I think that sometimes 'bright' and/or 'popping' is unnecessary and/or jarring to a warm, cozy effect.

Grace MooreLinker 09-11-2013 06:44 AM

#3, the light color

cherrio 09-11-2013 06:59 AM

I like the one with gold. it brightens it up

QuiltNama 09-11-2013 07:12 AM

I like #3 as it sets the blocks off

fangman 09-11-2013 07:41 AM

I really like #3, as it lightens up the whole quilt.

Slow2Sew 09-11-2013 07:42 AM

I prefer the green with yellow gold centers, or the blocks put together without sashing.

Jan in VA 09-11-2013 07:52 AM

Gold. Much more pizzazz.:)

misseva 09-11-2013 08:23 AM

I like #3 best.

lisa in ca 09-11-2013 08:31 AM

I love the first one with the plaid!

Carol34446 09-11-2013 08:42 AM

Like 1 but the red really pops and is striking.

RugosaB 09-11-2013 08:51 AM

Of course I'm going to be different and say I like #4. Then I'd fmq, with gold thread, in the light cornerstones (is that the right term?)

IBQUILTIN 09-11-2013 09:21 AM

I like the dark green or the red

MargeD 09-11-2013 09:27 AM

Personally, I prefer the sashing in the last picture.

wildyard 09-11-2013 09:33 AM

I agree that the first is too light, and the third appeals to me the most for brightening up the quilt. However, I do like the red also, if you don't mind it staying in the darker tones.

gbo44 09-11-2013 10:24 AM

You might Google Christmas quilts with brown. I saw this one that you also might consider which mixes some sashing colors.

Will look forward to seeing the beautiful outcome!

trolleystation 09-11-2013 02:33 PM

I like the tan sashing as well as the red.

janjj 09-11-2013 03:54 PM

# 3 is my choice

mjhaess 09-11-2013 03:54 PM

I like the second or the last.

Petalpatsy 09-11-2013 04:07 PM

If you surround your blocks with a darker color, the whole quilt will look brighter and your blocks will shine in the relative spotlight.
