:thumbup: I love it ! I would without doubt frame each block that way it looks like each block is in a picture frame and I would say to try different colors till you found one that looks very nice with each block . Good luck from a newbie.

Definitely would use sashing to make them stand out individually.

Your blocks are beautiful. :thumbup:

I would use the darkest tone of green available in the green in your blocks and I would use a vibrant gold for corner stones.I would keep the width of the sashing at one in. finished widith .

I think it would really look pretty with pink sashing and then black binding! Please show us when you're done!

What about a deep cherry red between the blocks? Think it might make the fans really stand out. Just a thought.

With so many votes for green and gold, have you thought about doing an attic window frame on these squares? It always makes the blocks pop. Just another option to play with.
