    I think a brown sashing would look a lot better, I think grey would be too muted (spelling). It is coming along nicely, are those all the blocks or do you have more to make?

    What is that very pretty blue in the blocks. I like that and then maybe the lime green as corner stones.

    In my opinion, the lime doesn't match with the other more pastel-y colors. Hmmm so for a good alternative...maybe a neutral color like gray or maybe a color similar to the blue found in the other fabric. But they are beautiful. Wouldn't want the green to distract from that.

    What she said. Turquoise might be nice with green accents.

    Super blocks but it was hard to see them with the lime green and I love green. Be sure to show us what you decide. BrendaK

    On my monitor I can't tell exactly what color your blocks are but I do think the lime green is overpowering.

    I agree, all I see is the lime green not the pretty blocks.

    On the color wheel, what is opposite the colors of your blocks? That might work, but thinner strips too. Maybe a corner stone of the darker color of your blocks too.

    I agree with your husband. I think a blue would look nice. You might try a blue that is a couple of shade darker than the blue in the block.
