    Why not use a narrow border of the fabric in the fans? If you did it real narrow (about a 1/2" finished, it would compliment the fans rather than take away from them.

    Your blocks are beautiful. :thumbup:

    Beautiful. Definately needs sashing, gold might make it look very elegant. Try some out of both green and gold and see which one you like best.
    Good luck!

    I think I'd either go with green or gold sashing.... I like the way sashing generally sets off the blocks. These blocks are gorgeous!

    The green or any sashing that you use I would

    from those gorgeous blocks.
    Moss green might work.
    I agree with green, but you'll know after you audition using fan fabric print, or pink, or gold, in a narrow sashing. Blocks are beautiful-keep them the focus.

    My thoughts exactly.

    Needs sashing, but the color is up to you. IMO gold would really make those fans pop.
