That's what I was thinking too. If I go with a black sashing the one blue and black block will disappear. I am surprised at the amount of green I do have as I'm not a green person. I thought I would have more blue in this quilt and of course it's still early and I can always add more blue! Thanks for the input QE!

OKSGlad ... I was quite a ways into my FWS before I made any decisions. Once I knew the sashing/cornerstones, then I worked to get some more browns/golds in to coordinate with the cornerstones, and was a little more cautious what was touching the sashing. I didn't re-do the blocks that are too similar ... and I think they will be OK as the part of the block that is brighter will pop out more.

So what are you thinking?? .... it helped when I covered my design wall with fabric in the colour tones I was thinking. Remember I had blue for awhile? I've got the rust up right now for the PC .... but I'm already thinking of switching it over, perhaps a bright navy? or dark brick?
