Marsha's Wonky Houses with Cats

Remember Marsha's wonky houses with cats quilt, she had on the design wall?  Well, she got it finished.  It is fabulouso!  The blocks are awesome, and she used the gigantic ric-rac when she did the binding.  The effect is amazing!  She is starting to get wild with her quilt designs and fabrics.

Sixteen Patch Quilt In Progress

No kidding.  Jane has a sixteen patch quilt in progress.  She is currently auditioning fabrics for the sashing between the blocks.  Here is what she has so far.  If anyone wants to weigh-in on which they think looks the best, please do so.  I am having a wee taddy bit of trouble with the blog program not allowing me to make comments or reply to comments posted.  I hope someday they get that fixed.
Here are the choices:
Yellow with cherries sashing
Blue and white plaid
Gray with tiny red flowers
  I am partial to the gray with red, but Jane likes the blue and white plaid. I say it is too much r, w, & b.  Astrid likes both, and Marsha is leaning toward the yellow.  What this means is we need some help.  Jane does not want to go to buy more fabric at the fabric shop.  She is trying to use what she already has on hand.  I get that, but sometimes, you just have to get what looks right, and you may not have it on hand.  But that is just me, Kirsten.
