Have you thought about a THIN (1 " finished) strip defining (sashing) each of your blocks? Black would work really well. Just enough dark to separate (pop) your blocks but not interfere with that GREAT look you have achieved. If size is an issue you could always add a border or 2 of what else? Scraps !!! to go along with your blocks. That way you stay in the same "family" and aren't creating anything new for the eye to go to.... IMHO I always like black as a STOP! for my eye! Gonna be great whatever you decide. be sure to post when finished, Happy Scrapping.......

I would stand back away from it and choose a color that catches my eye. Any color will work with so many to choose from, and whatever color you choose will bring that color forward in your quilt. It is going to be gorgeous no matter what you choose

I think I would decide who would receive the quilt first, then select the color based on their preferences. You could really use just about any color so it would be easy to go with the owners choice. If you are keeping it, then you get to choose and could go with a room décor, a season, or just what you love.

I would use a color that coordinates with the room you will use the quilt in.....they are all so colorful and pretty. What is the predominant color in the blocks? You could go with that. I bet that was a lot of fun creating them.

Well, I have been sewing those scraps day after day and have come up with 48 blocks that are 6 1/2 in squares. Now I think I want to sew 2 inch strips between each block and row. As you can see from the picture I think I have every color imaginable in this hodge-podge and now I'm stuck on a solid color for the strips that will 'frame' them. I kinda want to avoid white or black....too traditional. Any suggestions?
