I like the first layout. I wouldn't put on a multi color binding. Might try a black and white stripe?? JMO

I like the first one, too. Which jelly roll is that and the pattern? Thanks.

I love the first one.
Is it a wall hanging? If so, I'd do a facing, rather than a binding. I think that would look fantastic.

I like the top one and it's the first black and white (monochromatic) that I wouldn't want to see any colour included...it's eyecatching as it is. Just find some solids to match your grey or black and bind it up..it's great.

I like the first one. I did a black/white quilt awhile back and used a dark green skinny border before a wider black/white print one. I could see using the cream/brown from your jelly roll in a "matching" quilt. Rich colors!

I totally agree or it's going to throw everything off and look like you just threw a big scrappy together with no actual rhyme or reason. Or atleast find some yardage you can cut to coordinate. I would go with black or red binding.

I like the alternating squares on the first 2 pictures. Go bigger!! Add the cream/brown tones. And possibly a few more colors. It looks great. Keep going.

That is absolutely smashing!! I'd leave well enough alone and turn it into a wall hanging.

I like the first arrangement better - with the "matching" units set diagonally from each other.

I think I would like it bound in one of the charcoals.

I also would keep it to the whites, grays, and charcoals.
