    I like the combination with fabric no 2. That gives it more of a country feel to me. Whatever you choose, it will turn out real nice. Best wishes.

    Number one drabs it down and number two brightens it up. Just depends on which way you are leaning. I'd choose number one. Your blocks are wonderful. I would use 2 inch sashing between the blocks, and make a stop border of the same fabric around the edges. Then do a checkerboard border of scrappy squares or 2 x 4 inch piano keys. You are definately on the right track. Your neautrals really pull the scraps together for a cohesive feel. BRAVO for you stepping out of your box and trying something new.

    I like the #2 best and WOULD NOT put a border on it. I love scrap quilts, like yours, that are border-less. "If" you do put a border on, I'd make it a scrappy border and not a plain one.

    As you can see, everyone has their own opinion! Go with what you like.

    I love your scrappy quilt. I like #1 and might consider the same as the border and binding. Just my thoughts. I did a scrappy without sashing but made the border, binding and backing all the same and I love the way it turned out. But, it is your quilt, so do what pleases you the most. And then please post a picture of the finished product so we can admire it.

    I love the dark brown of #1. To me the blocks pop more with the dark. Love the look!

    Make it a true scrappy and sew all the squares together with no sashing and an outside border to finish it off!

    I like #2 for sashing and would wait to decide border until you have all the blocks done and sashed.

    I like # 3 the best, but the other two colors would also work. I also like scrappy quilts and am planning on making quite a few scrappy quilts. But not all scrappy quilts look scrappy, if you know what I mean.
