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!

Beautiful blocks. I like gold.

I thought of pink also.

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
not have it so overly bright as to take away
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.

beautiful, gold would be so pretty

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

Gold would be great! If I had enuf of the gold I just used on an oriental quilt I'd send it to u! Love it! Did u make pattern up? If not would u pm me the name? Have tons of oriental scraps and fab left!!!
