I like #3 - I really like your quilt!

I like #2.

Just a thought - How about #2 modified w/the rust cut down just a little & add a sm. 1/2" - 1" strip of another "favorite" color from the blocks between the white edge & the rust to give it a little more pop & to break up such a wide rust final to the quilt.

Similar suggestion ....
... you have the white sashing edge already. Then your rust (double the width of the white), then an insert of the green or another fabric (same width as the white, or perhaps narrower) and then more of the same rust (1-1/2 or double the original rust).

Then bind in the rust ... or perhaps a scrappy binding of your leftovers!

Me, too. What is the fabric line you used? I have a friend who wants a quilt in exactly those colors.

I agree.

Choice two but vary the size of the strips.

I agree that choice #2 is best. It makes the whole quilt just shine! Jan
