I think I will leave it for a while and see if I can find something in autumn/earthy colours next time I go shopping. I myself always thought I would use the black but now looking at it, I find it very "harsh" to the other colours.
Thanks for your help!!!

Nice quilt! I think the black will work but I'd make it narrow.

If you use sashing, I agree I think the black is kind of harsh. A rusty/orangy/brown kind of color I think might work better. That being said, I do kind of like the waffle-look of it without the sashing. I'm wondering it you could still keep that kind of look by making your sashing fairly narrow. Love the pattern...that's so cool. And I really like the way you've combined the colors you used!
