I like the gold the best, but I think you need to change the white background to gold (very light) or someth other soft, not so stark contrast. I can really "see" gold candles and nice china!

I haven't even decided on the color of the sashing yet.

Red

What would happen if you tried black for the center? I'm not sure, but it might make it "pop".

I like the gold.

Of the four shown, I like the second one (red center.) To me, it pops, blends, and looks elegant.
|
I think I like the red too, but a it all looks good to me. Makes me want to go buy some elegant Christmas fabrics now and make a Dresdan quilt. Love the look.

I like the gold best. It makes the red and green "petals" stand out.

Use black as your center, there is a nice selection of black for Christmas out in the lqs. You have black going through some of your Christmas prints, and a black center would pull it all together. Try to find a print with some gold or a little red going through the black.

My first choice would be # 3, if you want it to be more elegant. I would also not do the white background. I think maybe a soft color would make it more elegant. I do love your dresden plates. They are so pretty, I can't imagine your finished quilt not being beautiful, no matter what you choose. Please post a picture when you are finished.
