I just don't know...anyway please give me your thoughts.

The darker one looks great, and I think the red print cornerstones would be just what the quilt wants.

Right on Dagny and JeanieG why not give the red cornerstones a try and I'm sure it will brighten up the tans. Belles

Jeanie, I prefer the darker beige. My thought (I have those sometimes :)) is that red, as in your blocks 15 and 16, cornerstones would work really well.

I vote for the darker fabric, it lifts the block (if that makes sense)

My recollection is that one of the fabrics in this line is a black background with small brown details. That one might make a good cornerstone also.

You might be right Dagny. The fabric is a very dark navy (that photographs black) with a similar color brown squiggly circle. Thanks for the suggestion.
