I know you don't have any black blocks laid out but if the really dark color in those beautiful blocks are black you might want to see how it works with it .I love your quilt just
can't tell for sure what dark color in block is or maybe even
black and brown.

The quilt is still on the floor. Opinions still coming in and yet I can't seem to make a decision. I have not tried black yet but I think it will draw from the blocks and I am leaning towards the paisley brown or four patches in the brown or gold.

I agree, I think the 'solid blue' is too strong for the quilt, and you notice the stones and not your quilt. Not too sure about the other ones either. I suggest a different fabric entirely, with small flecks of blue in it as well as the other colours, so that one's eye is led from one block to the other by the harmonious colour? Nice blocks to ponder over.

Have you thought of making a 9 patch with the brown and gold? I would try that with the gold in the corners to contrast with the brown on the block. There is so much action going on in the block itself that it would be a shame to draw your eyes away from it with a corner stone other than the colors of your sashing...I think that's what I would do....
but I'm not the expert quilter.... :roll:
