JULY DONE.... now for some decisions to be made!!

 
I have had the July centre block done for over a week now and I am still no closer as to how I am going to put the quilt together!!
 
 
Here they all are in their colourful glory. I favour the purple for the peeper border but then I look at the orange and I am rather taken with that as well!!! And I am unsure about the diamonds, and whether I will do the next border of squares in the spotted backgrounds or go all out and use the brights.
Some serious thinking and fiddling about ahead I think!

I love you colours and the centre looks great - I think I'd go orange - its isn't all that big so either colour would work...and you can leave the diamond decision for now - decide what the squares will be then audition the diamonds...I like to see what it would look like with the peeper then more of the background as your small squares and the diamonds in all your brights...just a thought...

I think you made the right decision with the orange.......the purple would have made it dark........
