What about a tan inner border and sashing with an outer border of one of the colors? Or each border a different color? Or adding a second round of colors to the blocks before setting them together? Somehow, to me, it just seems to need a little more punch. (Maybe that's one reason you were liking the black?) You probably have this all resolved and finished by this time! ;-)Linda in NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00693525680183768843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096999232383688886.post-68176243528059660282013-03-29T12:37:02.687-06:002013-03-29T12:37:02.687-06:00I like the tan as shown with sashing.

You...Gosh that *was* a short post for you...LOL. You've probably already decided but here is my 2cents: At first I thought the black was not an Easter/Spring color but it really does pop the colors. The cream sashing/border just looked drab to me - none of the pastels showed up. I vote for black border with no sashing.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00862692878882330794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096999232383688886.post-17373753585505617212013-03-26T23:36:31.017-06:002013-03-26T23:36:31.017-06:00You are probably overwhelmed with opinions now, bu...You are probably overwhelmed with opinions now, but here's one more.

Such sweet spring motifs would sing in a lighter setting! And I bet your DD is delighted with her table runner!

The sashing between blocks makes them float a little too much and putting them together makes the eye see them as a unit, which I like better. The lighter border gives a more spring-like look - but the dark does make the colors pop. What would you think of a narrow dark first border (the same size as your block edges) surrounded by a wider beige border?Jean Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01495393121221507501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096999232383688886.post-25183172783292429252013-03-24T13:01:50.438-06:002013-03-24T13:01:50.438-06:00The black seems to harsh for me.
