I agree with Sharon, black would make them pop. I watch garage sales and get twin size sheets in different solid colors. Then I just tack them one my design board and lay my blocks on top. That way I can see what color I really want to sashing.

If it were mine I would do it without sashing, put a smaller black border and then a larger color border on the outside. Piano key border with scraps of all the colors is neat too, if you have enough left.

- get some additional batiks in the same color range and add a frame/ border around it just as it is and then add some smaller blocks then a final border. I am leaning towards this as I think that I like the layout. I am afraid that the sashing will detract from the impact of the blocks.
What do you all think??
