I think it looses it's continuity with too many non-related colors. When I look at the white sashing with black cornerstones, all I see is the cornerstones.

That's what I love about quilting. It's all about what you end up liking. Often, the final color choices in the blocks will change what I thought I wanted to do originally with sashing and borders.
