Number one drabs it down and number two brightens it up. Just depends on which way you are leaning. I'd choose number one. Your blocks are wonderful. I would use 2 inch sashing between the blocks, and make a stop border of the same fabric around the edges. Then do a checkerboard border of scrappy squares or 2 x 4 inch piano keys. You are definately on the right track. Your neautrals really pull the scraps together for a cohesive feel. BRAVO for you stepping out of your box and trying something new.

I love your scrappy quilt. I like #1 and might consider the same as the border and binding. Just my thoughts. I did a scrappy without sashing but made the border, binding and backing all the same and I love the way it turned out. But, it is your quilt, so do what pleases you the most. And then please post a picture of the finished product so we can admire it.

I like # 3 the best, but the other two colors would also work. I also like scrappy quilts and am planning on making quite a few scrappy quilts. But not all scrappy quilts look scrappy, if you know what I mean.
