    I love the burgundy... sorry, but it just speaks to me.. I love doing kaleidoscopes and do them in an 8 pointed star pattern.. yours is lovely.. I really like that fabric.

    How many blocks will you be doing? I love the burgandy and the gold. Can you do some of each? 4 blocks in the center with one color surrounded by the blocks with the other color? It all depends on how you want the whole quilt to read, something bold or something subtle.

    Okay I'm really going off the wall here. Each one looks great on all the different backgrounds, because each one brings out something different on each group. I don't know how many you are making but you could audtion them all on different backgrounds and try to get an even amount of differnet background. I hope that makes sense.

    Wonderful block. I like the yellow/gold. Dark green is my second choice.

    You see what happens when you ask for opinions....you get almost an equal number for each choice.....let us know which color gets the most votes.

    I like the yellow but I agree - make a few more and then choose.
