Blocks on point with a rail fence sashing and nine patch cornerstones, to pick up and repeat what is in the bottom left corner block in the pic. Only I'd have 2 dark fabrics in the rail fence, either the burgundy or black, and a light middle fabric (maybe the butter yellow? It's so pretty!) Very nice blocks! The top will be lovely whatever you choose to do.

They are really beautiful....I like the on-point idea, but would be inclined to go with the charcoal and the light stone/grey colour for sashings/borders. Depends how much fabric you have left over, but whatever you decide it will be just fine....you have a great eye for fabric/colour.

Great ideas!!

Sashing definitely. That would make the blocks stand out. They are very pretty and will make a beautiful quilt. I think a light color such as the buttery yellow would make the blocks pop. Show us what you decide.

I am a design wall girl! lay them out and "audition" them. I like the on point idea. Last time I wanted to put a block on point, I hated it that way! (go figure...I usually LOVE them on point). Try out a couple sashings underneath. Even if you do it at the quilt shop. I think sashing is a must with these. You lose the design when they are 'mushed' together. Did you piece them? I like them alot!

Agree with the others about sashing. I'd use grey and black to make the blocks pop.
Trying out ideas on a design wall will tell you what you need to do. |
I wonder how a black sashing would look........
|
Those are just excellent blocks!! Since there's already a lot of yellow, I'd probably go to a darker color. The darker burgundy or black sound good. So does auditioning fabrics on a design area. Show us when you're done! Happy sewing! :-)

I think on point with a thin frame of a tonal something around each one and a tonal plain block between. Altho these blocks are sharp, when put together in something, there needs to be places for your eyes to rest.......also a sash and regular border to frame this piece of art in......whichever way you do it, it will be your creation.....have fun....

Your blocks are beautiful. Please share pictures of your final top.
