I agree it would have been nice to know to hold back some gold and black for the borders. Fortunately I started with several cuts of yardage and have enought of one of each for the borders, but not my favorite fabrics, so may just introduce new one for the borders.
PeriWink yours is a bright happy quilt! It worked up good in those colors!
overall I think the light, tone on tone neutrals are best in this pattern in order to see all the secondary designs in it. The real scrappy, more dominate print ones I am seeing on Facebook seem to loose some of the design. But all are pretty, and that is part of the unknown with a mystery quilt I guess! Working on more blocks today!!
