A friend asked me for advice on setting Marcia Holm's version of Cain and Able (quilerscache.com).

Hers has white sashing and cornerstones. I don't like that. I tried several that I disliked equally and a few I found marginal. Ideas?

In looking now, I see I forgot to extend my colors on the sashing ends for 2-5. Oops! I hope this and the questions are clear.

the reason i like 2,4,5 is that the cornerstone and adjoining green squares make a secondary block. so i think i would go with 4 since you don't really like the white
