I am going to use this as a block for a virtual quilting bee I am in - I am using fabric from the Moda line "Just Wing It" in reds, blues, greens. Do you think the black (it's really Kona Pepper) is too much? Any other ideas for the solid?

I don't see a picture.

I love the black with it!!!! Keep it :lol:

I think the black is perfect with the pink. Beautiful block!

Looks nice

Ditto I love the contrast

i like the black

I like it!

I like it also. Keep the black

The black is perfect, but thats only my opinion! I would keep it!

The black makes it pop. Looks wonderful!

I agree, it looks fabulous!

I like the black. Think you could also use a deep wine red/purple. Or a deep green. But the black works really well.

Beautiful , keep the black.

I like it. You could audition a charcoal grey for slightly less contrast, if you are uncomfortable with this.

the black is a keeper.

Makes it pop.. Looks good..

The black makes the block look very modern. Very nice.

I like the black. You did a nice job on that block. Which method did you use?

Love the contrast very much!

Look great. Keep the black. Well done.

I love the black!

I love black, I just never seem to have enough to use! LoL!
Great job, very striking.

Great contrast!

The black works perfectly. Great contrast.

Sounds like the black is a winner.

I also like the black.

I think the black is your anchor. Keep it in!

No!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the black, but to be honest, I think I would use brown. Just my opinion.

My sentiments exactly! It draws the eye out!

I like the contrast; keep it is my vote!!

Very striking! Beautiful with the black.

It is a beautiful block. I personally like the combination. I am working on a quilt with black shashing and I am enjoying the way it looks! So call me biased if you wish but I do like your block! :thumbup:

I used a pattern from Allison Designs called "Crinsom Rambler" - basiclly it's like making a modern wonky star block.

Wow thanks for all the votes - sounds like black is the winner. I thought of brown but when I put it up to the fabrics it didnt do much for me. My son is suggesting ummm...yellow... he said it's pleasing to the eye and that is why they use it for movie subtitles (uh ok) so I will make one just for kicks and post it.

I like the black.

Thanks. I like the no paper-piecing kind.

Striking!! I love it!

I would think about charcoal gray. Try it and see.
