Both match the fabrics very well, however, I like the green with beige sashing. It makes the whole quilt lighter and not so dark and wintry as the blue. If the area in your house where you plan to use it is dark, then I would definitely opt for the green. If you have tons of light coming in, then the darkness of the blue won't be as gloomy looking.

Maybe wait until you have all your blocks done to see what would look best with the accessories you're making for your snowmen? Or decide now and then use some of those fabrics as scarves/hats/etc. in the blocks to tie things together. When I made my Snowman Collector I used golds and greens for the borders but it also had multi-coloured sashings.

I like the blue better. There's nothing wrong with having more blue. (Can you tell it's my favorite color?!) Personally, I find the green a bit jarring. But as Quiltaddict says, it all comes down to what you feel most comfortable with.
