And the winner is....... teals/blues! Thanks everybody, I really appreciate your comments to help me decide. I'm glad I made the green strings, otherwise I would of always wondered. It wasn't that much work, I just made 2 10-1/2" square string blocks and cut them up into 9 squares each. I like them, but not in my calming Orca Sunset. They'll be a great starting point for a new scrappy project.
candi, I really like your additional borders, I might just might borrow your idea. Happy piecing everyone!
