I like the blue and maybe the pink.
The others just aren't working me as much as those...

I like the pattern and the colors you used. If you can you get away with not using sashings, then that is what I'd go for....do borders to make it bigger.

If you do using sashings and if my monitor is showing the true colors, then I like that purplish color shown in the last pic. I would like to see a pic of the quilt with that color laid against the blocks.

I think I agree that the green seems to blend the best.

I think the neon quilt is a good idea. I'm just a newbie, but they all seem to be a very different color family/style from your blocks.

Audition the fabrics. I will use some pictures to show how.Remember it will look different sewn together. you can at least eliminate the fabric you hate with the other and choose from there.

I agree. I think the pastels are too light for the neons. I like the idea of neon on the back side for reversed quilt. Like getting two looks for one.

I vote for the green. I think it is the only one that does not overpower the other fabrics in the quilt. Your color choices for the sashing are very pretty, but do not blend well with the quilt to my eye. By the way, I think your quilt in the making is very pretty, and the fabrics so soft and comfy.
