Which Color???

Option #1 off-white/cream sashing: Option #2 darker blue-on-blue tone sashing:

Okay I need advice.
I first chose an off-white/cream color for my sashing on the quilt for the Quilt-Along. However, my fabrics tend more towards the traditional instead of modern and I now think that the lighter color sashing might not work. I laid out the fabric I had chosen for the binding and wonder if that looks better for the sashing. I would have to choose a different binding fabric but that is okay because I have time to do that. I think the blue-on-blue tone fabric pulls out the blues and navy blue from the other fabric and makes the chocolates and tans look warmer.

What is your opinion? Do you like the lighter color or the darker blue OR do you have another suggestion???

I would normally suggest a lighter/more neutral color, but I think you're right that, with your traditional fabrics, a more traditional (i.e. the blue) sashing would probably look better.

I like the blue best. To my eyes, with the white it's the sashing that stands out not the blocks

I do prefer the blus but sorry to sdd to your dilemma....have you tried a stone colour? I just think the white is too bright but maybe a stone colour would work????
