    Of the choices presented, I vote for the gold. It makes everything look rich and elegant. I think it is going to be a beautiful runner.

    Definitely the gold. It makes the other colors really pop up.

    I like the red best. It brings it all together.

    I agree. I like that it doesn't single out one fabric to be the star, but accents them all.

    Welllll...I like the white center because it makes your Dresdan look like a Christmas wreath.

    what if you used a darker green for the center? I think what you aren't liking is the way the centers blend with the blades. A darker center would stand alone.

    I did think about that. However finding that fabric is not easy. It seems that the fabric shops do not carry a big variety any longer.
    You could always stipple in the gold with metallic thread.

    Whatever you choose it will be beautiful! You've done a great job.
