Next I laid down my inspiration fabric (planned for the wide border) and then a sheet of the same dark green I used inbetween. Wow does it jump out so much better!
And then just for kicks I laid it on top of a sheet of purple. The purple also coordinates with the border fabric, so this is another possibility. I can't decide which I like.
The center square, by the way, is cut from the border fabric. I thought it would look interesting if each square looked slightly different. I'm cutting the squares carefully so that I get mainly the pink/orange/red shades, not the greens.
By the way, I like this digital camera. Somehow seeing the pictures seems like it gives me a different perspective than looking at it live.
Well, my progress is painfully slow (remember I have a one year old and a three year old in the house!) but at least I am quilting again!

My goodness, I don't know how you have any time to quilt at all!
The internal green sashing is lovely, and it will be hard to choose the other sashing! Based on the photos, I like the purple because I always like purple (so consider the source), and I think it is less matchy-matchy and brings out the less obvious color. But sometimes when you lay out more than one block, things change again. I think your fussy-cut center squares are a fabulous idea -- little things like that can make the quilt! It makes it more interesting and more personal.
Looks great!
