Choosing a sashing for baby blue
I have this charm pack of baby blue, greys, and browns. I can't decide which looks better, the dark brown sashing or the light grey. Or do you have any other ideas for setting? Thanks!

The different colors sure give the squares different looks.
They both look good to me.
The brown makes the squares look like they are "set in" - and the gray makes the squares look like they are "floating".
I think I like the gray better. It seems calmer to me.

Whereas to me, the grey, seems to have a chill.
The contrasts with the brown allow the blocks to show nicely.
However, I do not like the plain brown on brown.
Likewise, the plain grey with the grey background fabric.
For me, some of my decision would be based on what the backing would be.
Contrary to QuiltNNan, I would still prefer the chocolate for a baby or child, over the grey.
That is providing the backing is a lively go-with print of some sort to keep it cheery and happy.
I would make sure some of that backing print was on the front of the quilt too.
