In my opinion, the black sashing turns it too dark and takes out some of the funky. Of course, I've seldom if ever met a quilt that I think is too bright so I might not be the best person to discuss this.

I really like the black and since your going to use a walking foot you could do something with the black to set it off a bit, second choice would be picture #2 I like that color with it all. But just over all an excellent job you've done so far, I really like it!

When I first saw it, I thought never the black. I thought the wood floor behind it was very nice. But later when you posted the picture of the black sashing, I just said, "Wow". That is gorgeous! The pinwheels are accented, and the effect is stunning.

Ok, I have a color. I went at lunch and bought 3 yards...it isn't like anything we've discussed, but I like it alot. Bought enough so it can be a sashing strip too. I'll get pictures up when I get home from work!

Here's what I decided on...BettyGee called it with her suggestion of red. We tried everything and the purple in a lighter shade looked good too, but too feminine. The orangey colors made it look too Harley Davidson or Halloween. Tried various grays and greens...no spark, but I really like the red. Even though the solid black looked great, I just decided I didn't want to go there with a quilt that was going to see a lot of actual use. Got enough for sashing and I'll sash it with black too. and probably a small strip of one of the contrasting primaries.
