Barb in Louisiana

I drew your block in a 12 inch version and used a large flowered print for the centers of the block, then used the same print as the single border. I also added a 2 inch sashing and picked up a color from the print as the sashing color and used blue cornerstones in the sashing and a blue binding. The blue could be a black and it would still add that contrast that your quilt needs.

Edited to add: Oops! I alternated the fussy cut centers of this picture. Oh well, I hope you can see my vision even if it isn't perfect. "smile"
