I think it needs sashing also. But not sure what color would blend into background. Take blocks and audition on fabrics till you find the right on. Great blocks.

My thought, too. Right before gold becomes brown!

I would take a few blocks to my favorite quilt shop and lay them out on fabric to see.

a good way to decide is to choose some material from your stash, and spread it out, then lay your squares on it, leaving a space between each one, say 1 1/2 inches. do this with a few dif colors, and the answer will show itself. beautiful gold colors u have there, so i am thinking maybe a dark blue with gold flecks.

the person I was making it for could use! Please post when done, I would love to see your choice!
