I've sat here and looked at yours for a long time, OKSGlad, after I saw your question. Now I may be a bit partial, but what about a green? A "nothing print" from that line or one that works with it. Or a darkish rust/brick red? Or a navy blue that has some zip in it? OK, so I've given you about every colour! Some help ... NOT!

Then another thought ... a light sashing. I'm thinking white, but not bright white, but as white as that fabric would allow you to use. Yes, kind of a dirty white! Perhaps what is in your Betty's Delight or the Clover Blossom (perhaps it's the same fabric?)

Cornerstones? ... they'll sort out pretty quickly once you settle on the sashing.

I've been thinking about this too and thought I'd wait til 20, but now that we have the 15 grouping, I'll probably try to decide at that marker. The earlier they are decided, the easier it will be to blend with the sashing/cornerstones. I had some in the FWS that the background blends too much into the sashings/cornerstones and would like to avoid that.
