they are great blocks ... I have to say I love color so a splash might make your blocks pop. But when it comes down to it, what do you like? After auditioning a couple colors for sashing or borders, you may decide you like it just the way it is... : )
|
I was a thinking maybe a red tiny flowered print Flange? Then add border using one of the fabric used here?
|
To me, it screams for a little pit of color. Maybe a tiny thin border before the final border, or the binding in color?
|
Are going to make more blocks? What about having just ONE block where you replace some of the black and grey with a colour, my preference would be red, and then bind the quilt in the same colour?

Nice blocks. I think a spot of red would really make it shine. Maybe a thin border and then again as the binding. Lay it out and see how that looks to you

I would try various color using what scraps you have in your house. Personally, I would try something softer like an aqua because I would worry that the red might be a little to powerful but try it too.
|
What about a red (or other color) flange tucked into a border that is a continuation of the monochromatic color scheme? Perhaps a binding in the color of your choice. Perhaps the back of the quilt could be in that chosen color. I really like the blocks; they make a lovely quilt-with or without an additional color.

I would only add a color border if I replaced a few of the block pieces with color as well - just enough to tie it together. Most any bright color (bright pastels are my personal favorite- lime, coral, aqua....) would work and keep it looking modern.

You could consider putting some piping in between the last border and the binding. You could use a nice bright color and it would pop. This way you get a tiny bit of color that doesn't overwhelm. LOVE the quilt so far!

You don't need color in it , unless you want to change the color scheme. I like as is, Now if you want color to make it pop, bright yellow, turquoise, red or royal blue would be nice.
