I've laid out most of my 'coffee filter' quilt blocks. They are pretty wild - but I've appliqued them onto black. Now I wonder -- should the sashing and border fabric be wild and colorful or more subdued.

Maybe sash in one of the common colors? A pretty deep blue maybe?

If you don't use a sashing, they'll look like they're floating in space. Just a thought

Take a pic with some of your choices next to the blocks. I'd definitely be colorful. glenda

I would sash with all different colors to tie the two together, then you could make binding using several different colors. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Hmmm... looks pretty good on your tan carpet...

Beautiful blocks, love the idea of using coffee filters.

Or one of the bright pinks

When I look at it from the distance, I see the pinks and the blues. maybe a very narrow bright pink border followed by a blue. Sashing? hmmm, undecided what color -sorry.
