My vote is for the cream. I think that will really make the colors pop. Absolutely beautiful!

My vote is for the cream too. It will echo the star in the center. I love all your muted colors but the new green doesn't seem to fit as well.

Of the 3 colours shown I would prefer the cream with the blue, however if you had any of the beige batik you used with the green chevrons, that might look good, not such a huge contrast as the plain cream?

Ok I vote for the new green and a more subtle blue. That's just me of course being whacky but think you should sorta mirror whatyou have going already and there are a whole lot of colors there. The one lighter round you have is probably more than enough and if you need more do a simple small round say 2.5 inches or smaller so it stays in the view but not totally standing out. You want the center to stand out and the outter rounds perhaps to just make the center shine more.

I like the cream too, think the green is just a little to bright.
Told all of you I was working on another quilt for a special customer this week for their new house and needed to get it done. Even used a special border to set it off a little. This is the biggest quilt I have ever done, 108" x 108", over sized king. Now to get it quilted and sew on all that binding. Thought you might like to see it[ATTACH=CONFIG]469873[/ATTACH]

Jaba, that Labyrinth pattern is always a great one. You have done a wonderful job and love the border. I am sure they will be very happy.

Thanks for all the input. I made a sample of both greens. Now I'll make a sample of the cream. Maybe I'll make one with the beige too. The green that I had already used doesn't have enough contrast.
Brat - the blue I used is the same blue as the center. That's why I wanted to bring it back in.
