Which would you choose
 

I’m stuck and I am looking for feedback. I realize the contrast is not enough to make a true OBW, but I’m overall very pleased with the blocks.

1: Keep the quasi matched corners, I know they won’t blend well. I’ve only sewn 5 so far.....
2: Go with just the Cream colored corners.
3: Go with the green I was able to find.

I’m at a loss and would like to get this project completed so I can move on to the next. I’m obviously horrible at colors! As always I appreciate everyone’s help and feedback!

I like the green the best.

have you thought about a black blender?

Your blocks are really really pretty!

#4 - Purchase the sage green that is in the block? The blocks turned out beautiful I love the way they look up on the wall. In the photo the peachy/terra cotta shade stands out. I think a sage would contrast beautifully.

Remember, it is always a matter of taste, neither right or wrong. That is why the make vanilla and many other flavors of ice cream. My taste would lean to the green.

ditto here

I like the green, but do you have a piece of black fabric you could try out?

I would go with the green myself because typically I like a nice sharp contrast. But -- I like the print fabric much more than I would expect. It gives a very different look and yes, a lot of your blocks would sort of disappear but it would be cool. Not a fan of the pale.

There are so many ways this would finish beautifully and as already mentioned it's up to your taste. But since you've asked :)

Of your three displayed options - I like the green the most because of contrast, the same fabric next which offers a really muted blend (would look beautiful!) and my least favorite is white/light.

I like ideas already mentioned - a more sage green and some type of blender black or low volume black (not a hard solid) which I think would really make these patterns pop and be a very dramatic option.

Any/all of the above would be beautiful - anxious to see what you like the best!

I love the design! I am sure most what the pattern is called but not me! Could somebody please help me on this?

Do you use any patterned fabric or do you need to use fabric with a certain print to get that (pinwheel? effect?

I think the green is stunning, I would love to try pattern at some point! Thanks

Love the fabrics you are using for your quilt. I like the green best of the 3 you showed. Can't wait to see what you decide on & see the finished quilt.

I also like the green the best. Just remember - your quilt your way. If you aren't happy with your choice then you won't like the finished quilt.

Oh yessss ... for the Green ...... with envy, as I am loving it.

I love how the green is making the blocks pop.
Whereas using the same fabric just loses all your beautiful work of the octos.
Likewise the cream is just ... blah! :)

Have you considered? ... further squaring the blocks up with the green as a sashing
along with the corner tris you have already added?
Then use the terra cotta or burgundy in the fabric as cornerstones.
Would let each of those beautiful octagons float and show their stuff ...
plus create a secondary pattern.

I used a few different colors for the corners. It looked like pieced diamonds when done and I liked it.

The pattern is called "One Block Wonder" or "Kaleidoscope". A fabric with a large scale print and a contrasting background is generally used.

Lots of tutorials available online, here's a good one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYx_G83pFEw

I really like your green. The same fabric dilutes your work and to me the white is rather boring whereas the green looks dramatic.

Have you tried a terra cotta in the corners?

I would love to see a sage green, but if not then I like the dark green, and it's always nice to use something already in stash. I would also consider sashing the quilt, so that the individual blocks stand out more. It's going to be beautiful.

Green, it really Pops the color of the squares. Or try a rust/red.

I vote for the green. I would definitely not use the print as the tiny print square in the middle of the blocks in the second picture just makes the blocks get lost.

Green here too. Wow, they are gorgeous!!!

Beautiful! I love the green. Certainly not the print... it hides your hard work. I think the green gives the blocks the contrast they need.

I love it with that green! Your blocks are gorgeous and the green really makes them sing.

I like the Green

Another vote for the green here. It certainly makes the beauty of the blocks pop.

Green looks great and really sets off the glorious fabric. If you're still auditioning, I like the suggestions of trying sage and black. You'll know when it feels right.

#1--the newly created design gets lost
#2--acceptable. What does a creamy color similar to the background of the fabric look like?
#3--maybe a bit dark but a nice blender and works. Like the others who have suggested, a sage green or one more like what is in the piece would be worth auditioning. I'm not a great fan of that much black. Black tends to fade and become brown. I like the idea of using setting triangles and then sashing to set each design to itself. Beautiful quilt coming around!

I agree with Dunster. Whatever you decide will be great. Really pretty blocks and it is YOUR quilt.

Definitely the green. Beautiful!

4 patch posy with a different fabric from the same line would look awesome too. So many options!

The blocks look great! Have you considered black? If these are the 2 colours you have I would go with the green. Remember , " Colour gets all the credit, but contract does all the work!"

Your blocks are fantastic! I like the quasi matches.....because the blocks are, themselves busy and I don't think you see that the corners don't match. But in time that may bother you. So, a good alternative, I think, is the green. It will, I think (can't tell without a full view) set the blocks off and showcase them. As others have said, I'd also consider sashing the blocks.

This is going to be beautiful!

I like the green best.

Of the 3 choices you have asked about I like the dark green the best. If you do the setting triangles in say the dark green, then do sashing w/ corner stones, keeping the corner stones the same color as the setting triangles and the sashing a contrasting color it will look like you have alternated the octos w/ a churn dash (or monkey wrench) type block. I have seen it done w/ other octos and it looks great.

The green just makes the blocks pop, very pretty.

I love the green, I actually gasped out loud when I saw that picture. I think the print corners are way too busy, the eye needs a place to rest. And I think the cream is rather blah.

I like the green too.
