I would seperate the 2 prints with a narrow strip of the dark blue fabric and then bind it with the same blue.

I have mixed feelings. If you use it separate it from other prints with a solid. The blue rose print is so pretty as is you ? fabric. Use but let each stand alone. I like beautiful fabrics to be frasmed and admired,

I think it works well with the other fabrics.

Although, I am not partial to it being right next to the one it is with right now. Colour wise they go together nicely. Just that both are busy, together, and you don't get to enjoy them ... almost like they are fighting it out!

Find another fabric to coordinate them all together, and act as a division between those two.

What are you making? ... quilt block into a quilt? or?

I agree with the last ladies that you should separate the two prints with a solid. then it should be very pretty.

Yes! I am kinda with you two, I think the tanish coloring is too light so it is not matching with the rest. Be right back going to takw a pick of my other options......

Okay here are the other choices.....

I think this will not work because of the strips being too close to each other

This one is supose to be used for a thin boarder when this block is done

I am liking this one but it will have the dark blue trangle on the end like the row before

First one feels kinda busy for me. Like the second one. Good luck. Be sure to post your choice.

Wow! I'm not big on flowers, but this looks great together! Sort of looks French country!

If you lay the medium blue and the dark blue triangle next to each other and there is enough contrast, I would go with the medium blue.

I like the fabric combinations!!! They compliment each other very well! You will probably be pleasantly surprised!!! Just take a leap outside the box!
