MommaDorian-
Can we see it with a half-dropped block so they're offset, with thin red sashing? Are those actual blocks or are you playing around in Photoshop again? ;-) |
Black is too severe; your blue is distracting--too bright; Red is very nice, and white is gentle and lovely. Have you thought of a very narrow black inner combined with the Red; or a narrow red with a wider White?

MTS, She sent me pics of actual blocks...I have been playing in Paint with them.

With no sashing new patterns emerge, and it's very interesting, but maybe a little too busy. I think I like the narrow white best, although before I saw the narrower version I preferred the red. Or maybe you could do narrow white sashing with red cornerstones. I love that block design!

I'd probably go for the red - but much narrower. And the idea upthread of combining 4 without sashing is interesting. Or what to do they look like with a thinner sashing but dropped a half-block? Or on point? I'm for anything that avoids the ubiquitous squares in a grid layout. ;-) I'd also been thinking of on point ... and wondering about filler blocks of the print. And totally agree ... avoid squares, and head to on point |

Outstanding! I would go with thinner red shashing.
|
I agree with Lisa. the red looks best to me. Great blocks, very pretty.
