I knew I had seen it before but couldn't remember where. Celtic Mystery did turn out to be a very pretty quilt using the alternating blocks.

I like the first one. It's sedate and soothing. I usually don't do sedate and soothing, though. My favorite layout is the one at Connecting Threads. It really pops the colors. Then, my next favorite is the one that's sashed in all black.
I think it looses it's continuity with too many non-related colors. When I look at the white sashing with black cornerstones, all I see is the cornerstones.
Everyone has different tastes, so choose what looks good to you.

I borrowed Barb's pic to show my idea. I don't have anything to draw it out perfectly like hers. I would make my sashing the same width as the 9 patch square (4 inches) and alternate square in square w/ the hourglass block to make the sashing like this (the is a bit skewed since the sashing in this image was narrow but you get the idea.

These are the two options I have to decide between. I wanted a connector or alternate block of some kind. I liked the simple cornerstone sashing. It does look good with the folded corners block. I was trying for something more elaborate, but sometimes, simpler is better. I really like the sashing on the Connecting Threads version and may change to that idea on the first quilt. Thank you so much for your ideas and suggestions.
