please help me choose the middle for my christmas dresden plate runner
#222
Here are some other choices that I tried. I really did not like the black. It stands out too much. You gave me the idea of a solid green. Then it hit me why not use the fabric that I am going to use for the sashing, back and binding , DUH! There are actually 20 blades in the plate. I am so frustrated with this. I refuse to purchase more fabric.
using this one will make it flow better with the sashing and backing

You said you were thinking of using the fabric for the sashing back and binding .... what is that?
Are you mounting it on the white?
As for the black and white centre .... sorry IMHO it looks totally a misfit as there is no "white" in the blades of the Dresden Plate.

IS YHE BACKGROUND WHITE OR OFF WHITE, MAYBE THAT WOULD BE BETTER IN A LIGHT YELLOWISH-GREEN TO MATCH THE HOLLY LEAVES. THE CENTER COULD BE LIGHT COLOR WITH AN IRRIDESCENT THREAD OR GOLD METALIC THREAD INTERWOVEN
