Nice blocks, a setting on point would be really nice, However if I used the larger fabric for alternate blocks I'd sash with solid. Good luck cant wait to see it finished!

I also agree with the blue sashing and the print in the outer border would be very lovely IMHO.

the solid colour in-between will make them look separate.
the other more blended

any chance in posting a picture with some solid in-between the blocks...

sorry I am visual I need to see the blocks that way

I like the fabrics, but would use a solid type sashing.

What about some solid navy with it - or solid gold? Maybe the other print would make a nice backing for it. Let us see it when you have it finished.

I was thinking the same thing navy or gold solid, if you use plain blocks in between the pieced ones i don't think a sashing is needed. Can't wait to see it finished

Like the blocks. I think I would get a navy blue type marble and set them on point with the the navy and use the print for the back or use navy and the print for the back.
