Even before I saw the other post I thought that solid black would really make it pop!!!

I suggest that if you are going shopping for sashing fabric, that you take some of your blocks and audition a variety of fabrics. I don't have a suggestion as to color, but I think your blocks are very pretty!

I'm voting for solud black sashing with no cornerstones, too. I can't wait to see this done... your blocks are beautiful & it looks like you're off to a great start!

I agree about using a soft light green. Great blocks. I guess I would take the blocks when shopping and lay them out with different solids, take pictures and then see which color makes to blocks explode! Sometimes it can be the color that you didn't think would be good! Sandy 64
