    I agree with STAR on the dark green. Most of the kaleidascope fabric is floral and dark green would set it off. Sort of like flowers against a background of green foliage.

    I like the burgundy best too. It makes the yellow really pop. But if you don't like that, I agree with trying a really dark green.

    Good luck, and be sure and post the finished product.

    Oh, the blocks look great! :D :D

    Is it possible for you to use a different burgundy? A blender that has a bit of movement?

    Of the samples you posted I lean to the lighter green for some reason.

    BTW, really cool blocks!

    I'd go with the burgundy. It's hard to see a "finished" top with just one block done, but I think the remaining blocks will pop out of the burgundy. Sorry - I don't have a second choice.

    No question in my mind - it's the gold.

    Ok, I've layed out some blocks on the different colors and will post those so you can all take another gander. I'm definately leaning toward my original burgundy but am going to go to Joann's to see if they have a brighter burgundy color that stands out more rather than the burgundy I got that is dull and flat. Check the picture out and see what you think of the choices of which I have narrowed the decision. All comments, suggestions, etc. are most appreciated and ,most welcome. Thank you.

    I'm having trouble finding the gold and sage green pictures so will send the burgundy and get the other two and send them under another post.
