Ok since I did not make a final decision yet on the setting stones for this quilt, will you help me decide which ones? I have pretty much ruled out the light blue. I also think the brown and gold reversed is boring. But I am curious anyway as to opinions I will get.

Your blocks are really nice. Do you have any of the main print left? It might also be good for the cornerstones. I like the brown paisley the best. The blue will stand out to much and I agree with you about the brown & gold.

I also like the brown paisley the best.

I like the dark blue, it gives the eyes a chance to roam a bit

I like the blues ones in the second picture, I think they bring out the colors best.

karenm36 11-21-2010 08:45 PM

I like that one brown paisley the best...do you have enough to do all the cornerstones with that? Your blocks are lovely!

sueisallaboutquilts 11-21-2010 08:58 PM

Brown, very nice blocks Franie!

Kitsapquilter 11-21-2010 09:00 PM

Brown paisley!! Nice stack and whack!! Love doing those.

SAHM 11-21-2010 09:03 PM

I like the brown paisley best.

smitty 11-21-2010 09:08 PM

what about making the cornerstones out of one or several of
the prints ? these look like 6" blocks ? they are beautiful.

nlgh 11-21-2010 09:11 PM

I like the brown and gold stones, but I would make a nine patch with a brown square in the center of the gold stripe so that the brown makes a cross and you have only 4 gold squares. That way the brown touches the gold stripe in the setting sashes.

Mariposa 11-21-2010 09:11 PM

I vote for the brown paisley!

cjomomma 11-21-2010 09:13 PM

Oops!! See the next post!

I just realized that your carpet is showing in the other corners. Sorry it's late. I'm going to bed now but I think you need to fing a color similar to the flooring and use it with the lt blue.

SharonAnne 11-21-2010 09:20 PM

The brown did it for me. Another oops - lol. I like the color of your carpet, but did not realize it was carpet either. Duh!!!! Still, I am not pro-blue.

Sadiemae 11-21-2010 09:44 PM

I love Paisleys, so it wouldn't be hard for me to decide.

LOL !! I thought the same thing!

Although I know you have pretty much ruled it out, I do like the light blue.

PegD 11-22-2010 04:11 AM

Did you try the brown that you used to frame the blocks? I think that would look nice.

I'm partial to the the brown, the paisley give's the eyes something to play with.

deema 11-22-2010 04:49 AM

Call me crazy, but I like the squares where you didn't put anything and the colour of the carpet is showing through!

same here

sbeddingfield 11-22-2010 05:12 AM

I like the reversed best because it makes me look at the wonderful quilting in the blocks more.
But no matter what you choose - it will be beautiful.
Thanks for sharing,

I like the brown paisley

kittenquilts 11-22-2010 05:25 AM

I love kaleidoscopes and had not thought of that type of setting. I like the brown paisley also.

pjustice63 11-22-2010 05:35 AM

I totally agree with the "blue" votes. It makes it sparkle.

Shelbie 11-22-2010 05:38 AM

The brown matches better but the blue makes the quilt "pop" a little more. Any of your choices would work out just fine so it comes down to your quilt, your choice. It's a very pretty quilt and I don't even like brown!

cyhilty 11-22-2010 06:00 AM

brown is my pick

sewing along 11-22-2010 06:01 AM

the blue ......blue blue

LindaR 11-22-2010 06:05 AM

I would make them a very DEEP gold, or the nine patch like someone else suggested

LindaBN 11-22-2010 06:13 AM

I notice the blocks more with the the brown and gold reversed squares...not so much distracting the eye. I think that one looks classy.

Murphy 11-22-2010 06:16 AM

My preference is the brown. This is a beautiful quilt.

Grandma Cindy 11-22-2010 06:50 AM

I like the light blue, it seems to bring out the blue/gray? from the blocks...maybe a more solid light blue... Squares are beautiful...

Dani 11-22-2010 06:57 AM

I agree, I think the main fabric might do the trick. Hard to say though since we don't know what it looks like. That's going to be a beautiful quilt!!!

I like putting a nine patch for the setting corners when I have a striped sashing. It makes it look sort of woven.
