    Like the material fine - just not a lot of it. Putting a medium band width around the blocks would work without overwhelming them. Just my thoughts.

    I'm not crazy about the granite. Maybe use it for the backside of the quilt.

    Not a fan, is that Stonehenge? Some form of a black I think would look nice

    Sorry, but I think I would search for another fabric for the sashing. The colorful blocks are from a different "family" than the granite fabric. I love the granite fabric, and I love the blocks, but not together. I hope you will show us the finished product, because it will surely be a winner!

    Ok I'm going to go against the flow here and say I love the fabric as sashing. I wouldn't have it very wide - no more than 2"- but I think it picks up the colors and still makes you look at the cards.

    The colors are perfect! I think with the white sashing separating the blocks from the background, it's all good.

    I agree....the styles of the two fabrics don't compilment each other. I'd try and find a fabric that pics up the rust(red) color in the cartoon block and sash with tha, then perhaps a black border that matches those dots in the yellow fabric.

    Keep the granite fabric, it's perfect for what you are doing!

    I agree that the styles of fabrics don't work/play well together.
