IMHO it could use a tone on tone border. Perhaps a blue that goes with the sashing?

Thank you so very much.
I have just spent a week going through totes of scrapes and cutting them into 5" blocks and was wondering what to do with them. You came to my rescue with a wonderful pattern. Thanks, now I know what my next project will be.

It is made with four 5" squares; then you make 1' cuts left and right and top and bottom of center; rotate the larger pieces and resew; then square up your blocks. (Then it's called a D4P---a disappearing four patch) I just added the sashing pieces so I wouldn't have to worry about matching all those seams you get. Of course you could use larger squares. I was just trying to use of leftover material.

I like those blocks, great job. I would finish with a solid border, that would really set it off.
