That makes sense. :-)
I'm not looking forward to the end of daylight savings... I hate winter. Although, I guess I won't be feeling guilty staying inside sewing all day if it's pouring with rain and freezing cold! LOL
We're at sea level here, so don't get snow.

The red looks good. I think the reason you may uncomfortable with the white is because of that "light fabric jumps out at you" phenomenon. By using color in the edge squares, you are actually popping the sampler squares forward.
I prefer the red (but that is because I am old! LOL feeling a little danger, I guess). Having watched a ton of decorating shows, the green is something that makes one think of the sea/ocean/water ... and, is supposed to have a quieting effect ... and, I thought it was a good match.
Red white and blue ... traditional ... and while yellow, white, blue is a clean look, suddenly throwing it in on those edges is as jarring as the white is ...

Thanks for that... it's really cool to hear the reasons behind why something is prefered.

I liked the white when I first saw it but now that I have seen all of these options I love the YELLOW!!!!! So springy and fresh. Afterall what can go better then blue (sky) and Yellow (sun). God loved it too.
