Here are the choices. To be honest I do not like any of them. I may have to go a different route. The background block is what you see. I just have the black so that you can see better. I am planning on putting sashing between the blocks and using christmas green for the backing and binding. I am just not happy with with it so far. I am wanting something that is elegant and pops. I haven't even decided on the color of the sashing yet.

Of the three I like the gold the best. It pops more and I think it has the elegance you are looking for.

I like the first one best. It has more contrast.

I like the second one best of the three. You might try your choices againg what you plan to use as sashing to get a better idea of the finished look. It's amazes me how much of a difference that can make! :) Looking great, I hope you post a finished product.

Do you have any green???????? If not, then I vote for the red.
