I like the brown and gold reversed best. Gives a feel of symmetry and elegance.

I like the brown and gold, as well, for the same reason.

I think the light blue pops out and enhances the quilt. But honestly I think it should be a much lighter blue.

I like the dark blue.. It makes it pop..

I also like the idea of 9 patch with the brown and gold. Really like you S&W!

Oh My--I opened a big can of worms! I never thought I would get such diverse opinions. Not sure either block won the vote. LOL I might try the light tan or gray too if I have anything in that color. I don't have any of the fabric left of the owl fabric. Some of the blocks minus the corners were given to me--plus a stack to be cut and sewn. So I finished all the blocks and added the corners in brown and came up with the setting out of my head. Still not sure where this is going...

I agree! The blue really makes the centres "pop".

I like the "boring reversed brown and gold". sorry.. tee hee

Love your stack'n whack. I get stuck with settings too sometimes. You have a lot of choices. You don't want to take the eye away from those gorgeous stack'n whack blocks. I think I like the brown paiseley too. Can't wait to see it.
