Just wanted to tell you how great all your scrappy's are. I can understand why your having a problem deciding, literally I think you could do anything and it would be great. Maybe take some other considerations in mind, like what you are going to do about the binding and the back and of course where it will be used.

P.S. I would really like to see the quilt after it is finished so I can see the rest of the blocks you will be making.

I think I would continue with the scrappy theme. Cut the sashing strips to the correct length and just mix them up. I would do likewise with a scrappy binding. Just be sure to cut the binding all at the same angle. It should be beautiful and will make the best use of all of your scraps.
