    Default Can't stop sewing scraps...Part 2 need color advice

    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?

    Red seems to occur in all the blocks in some form or fashion. perhaps a red and that pretty orange/yellow that is in a couple of the blocks

    I think green would look nice and there is some green in almost all the blocks. Great crumb blocks!

    Great blocks. I'm partial to red but any color would work.

    I'd do either red or the yellow/gold shade. Red will blend it all well, Yellow will make the other yellow as well as the blocks themselves Pop!
