    I agree with sashing - I actually did this quilt several years ago. I added a sashing and also set them on point. I am going to try to add pictures - which aren't very good but will maybe give you an option.

    I too liked the idea of the green, but I wanted to give your white fabric full consideration so I did a quick fingerpainted mock up. I think that the white makes the flowers recede, while the green feels more natural like a lawn. Another idea would be to do thick sashing 1/3 - 1/2 block width in green and use the white as corner blocks between the sashing.

    ​I like the dark green without cornerstones. I would get as close as possible to the background green in the blocks but do what YOU like best.

    Beautiful blocks and I agree with sashing in green. I think this will be a wonderfully vibrant quilt!

    I think the dark green sashing is the way to go. The flowers are really beautiful....you did an outstanding job...as usual. Anxious to see the final product.

    How in the world did you do that? Thanks!!! I think I like the green too! I had thought about black. But, I think green may be the way to go!
