i didn't do any joiners on mine either. I just put a border around all of it. It's in the frame now.

I like Kona White (not Snow but White)

If you go with a green the same as the leaves in that one print, would that be too much green to your liking? Or go with the burgandy in the flower.

I would use raspberry! add definition

Very pretty blocks I think it would be pretty with the white
and beige that you have in your block I would definitely lay different color strips next to these blocks and see what you like best you have a great eye for color.

My first thought upon seeing these gorgeous blocks is White. Be sure to post photo when you get the quilt done. Nice job so far.. :)

I like the gray or something soft looking; pale pink as there is already blue. The colors are just beautiful. Let us know what you decide.

I say go with a very nice shade of green maybe not a dark green but one a hair darker than the shades of the blues that you are using. just my thought. you want it to help the blocks stand out and frame them but not take over the quilt so that you see the green first. I think that a green would be the right color to go with especially if you have cobolt blue walls. but I am a green and blue kinda girl.

I'm thinking the room is colbalt blue, kinda dark. Blocks are very light. So I would go with medium color. Not as dark as burgundy but not light or candy pink. Maybe like rose. Age has something to add to it. Hot pink for the younger a richer color for 40s. I like to take it shopping. Happy hunting! Show us pictures!

I also like the darkest burgandy in the flowers like Mitches Mom suggested.

i agree... the dark burgandy in the flowers, cobalt walls... your quilt will be the focal point... just like it should be.
