    I agree with the others, blue sashings and brown cornerstones! Sounds like your kids will be double cousins if I am reading your post correctly (and if you have kids). My mom's sister and my dad's brother married, so I have double cousins. The same thing happened on my husband's side of the family, just one generation removed.

    Beautiful block and perfect contrast in colors. I think blue and brown will definitely tie the blocks together nicely as stated above. Will be a cozy quilt in the soft flannels.

    Nice fabric choices. And a brother-sister duo is amazing! I'm sure it will be beautiful and special. Please share the finished quilt with us. Thanks for sharing.

    I think a nice chocolate would compliment the polkadots, maybe gather some small scraps and audition, there is already a lot of blue in the block so blue might be a bit much unless it was darker, but I think the chocolate and blue go really good together as I have seen in other quilts. Maybe chocolate sashing and a blue border would set it nicely.

    I agree with this, except instead of the off white background, I'd use a white on white or a solid white. The block is adorable.

    I love the block & your fabrics you picked. I think it would look nice with a brown sashing & the blue marble for a corner stone. Then the same blue for a border & bind with brown. It is going to be beautiful when finished.
