That is an awesome tool to use and try out different colors!!! I tried to "edit" my photo and I do not see where I have the ability to do that. Would you share how you accomplished that? And thanks for doing it...I like the blue and the light violet the best!!!

It is the free photo editing that came w/ the computer, paint is what it is called. You choose a color and a paint brush size and can fill in any color you want anywhere in the picture.

I would take off the dark sashings on the blocks. Small print fabric looks best most of the time when it's floating so a border of the same color as the background would be my choice. Then frame that with a colored binding. To keep the squares of fabric interesting I would set them on point using the same background color fabric as he quilt.

Is the shaded ombre fabric going to be your outside border?
I can - sort of - see why you chose it - it does pick up the red, blue, and purple colors of the flowers.
The following is MY opinion only:
I think the ombre looks very "heavy" and "grubby/murky" compared to the freshness and lightness of the floral print - which I like.
The outside border print makes me think of sunsets reflecting off dark water.
I also think the black (?) or is it dark brown (?) framing the out side squares is "heavy" with the floral print.
If I block off the dark framed squares and the ombre border fabric, the tan/gold looks better to me than the black or border print - because it is "lighter" feeling and the tone is closer to what the flowers are.
If it was mine, I think I might consider using some green that is similar to the darker green tones in the floral print - that would "anchor" the floral print and still not look "heavy" or "murky"
What were your thoughts for the binding?
Again - only my opinion. I don't know how much fabric you have available - or your thoughts on a total reworking of the project.
Bottom line - to me, the gold/tan (by itself) looks good with the floral print. Or possibly, replace the gold with a green, and replace the black with the tan/gold, and find something else for the outside border.
I do like the floral print. It's bright, cheerful, and fresh looking.
