Your blocks look great Jan, I too like the blue background. It sets the blocks off.

My vote is for the darker background, makes the block pop, the lighter background has them fading into it.

Thank you all so much. I'm leaning towards a darker background, want to try burgandy or dark green. I like the light too. Decisions! Weezie what color did you decide on?

I was so mad at Patches-I'd get the blocks all laid out neatly and he'd go lay on them!! But a quilt isn't complete without a little dog hair-adds texture.

I started to describe it in words; then decided to take & send a photo. Although the colors are off, photo still gives you more than a verbal description would. The choc. brown I've had for a long time, before I ever heard of the FWS; it will be sashing & borders. When I started the FWS, I took a piece of it to Joann's and got the other 2 fabrics. They are "Tan Scroll" & "Peach Scroll". The lighter one is quite tan, but the photo doesn't show that. I have 1-1/2 yds. of it and much more than that of the peach scroll. One of them will be cornerstones; the other triangles; I just haven't decided which yet. Both scrolls go well with the brown and its peach-y flowers.

Thanks, all! I was tickled pink to find the peach & tan scroll fabrics to match the brown, + it's all of good quality. Not only that, with coupons & end-of-bolt discounts, I saved about $20.00 that day.

Savings like that always make the fabric seem even prettier. :0) Your selections are so nice and will complement your blocks beautifully.
