I like the idea of adding a vibrant blue unles you want a monotone quilt, then maybe a rich dark chocolate brown so the blocks are glowing due to contrast. Just keep playing and seeing what you like best.

Ii like the dark choice. I am also one who would use black to make the blocks pop. Just finished one this week-end with black sashing and colored corner stones and love it. Your dark brown would work well tool.

I'm not a great fan of the dark brown. I tend to see it instead of the pretty colors in the blocks and the work you have put there. How about a tone on tone tan and use either the gold or the brown for the cornerstones? I like Tartan's suggestion that cornerstones would create another design for the piece.

So the dark brown won. And that forced ??? me to go to Lolly's and shop as I did not have any more. Oh poor me having to spend time shopping in Lolly's. (For those of you not from here, Lolly's is a huge fabric store in Shipshewana.) And I found it with a little help from the owner. Look for a pic tomorrow. Marcia

[ATTACH=CONFIG]609971[/ATTACH]This is as far as it is now. Almost put together. I cut the sashing 2 1/2 inches. I took that off a pattern that was 12 inch blocks. These are 9 inch and I should have reduced the width of the sashing. But I didn't so this will be it. Plus some borders.
