I started with silver gray:
So I did the cheerful yellow next:
Next up was a nice sage green - this is one that I thought "why am I even auditioning this one." I was planning to dislike it.
Finally I had a chocolate brown.
Okay! You are the call-in voters.....so I want your opinion. Which do you think works best? Do you have a better idea? Don't say black, that is more intense than I want for this. And white is too light, I think.
So now Speak Up. You can either fill out the poll on the left sidebar OR leave a comment.

I like the chocolate brown. Maybe try a mid tone gray as well. Modern quilters tend to use gray as a neutral and I have come to really like the look of it.
I'm digging the brown Gene. I'm sure whatever you choose will be perfect ;)
How about the chocolate or a darker gray.
I thought you were going to use the blocks edge to edge. I would be using a very narrow sashing so that it doesn't take all of the attention.
I think they all work...depends on what kind of look you want. Personally, I'm leaning towards the bright yellow, but that could be because we woke up to over a foot of snow this morning! Wanda's suggestion of skipping the sashing completely is an interesting idea too...
Brown vote from me as well!
I think the brown makes the blocks look warm and doesn't detract from their wonky goodness. ;)
I like the brown also, but if the chocolate colour isn't working for you how about a darker brown???
I did like the yellow but like you it was a little too much. The brown did do more for me than the others. I think a shade darker would be perfect.
Darn! I was going to say black! So how about a darker shade of gray instead?
I like the brown - but would try a darker and more chocolate shade. Have you tried red or maybe a wine color?? Or a darker gray?? The possibilities are endless - I would try EVERYTHING and then decide - ;))
sorry, majority, i prefer the yellow, its bright, with wonky blocks=happy happy
I'm wondering how a print would look. I'm envisioning small dots or something like that maybe with tonal cornerstones.
I like the yellow!
I like the yellow!
I agree with you on the grey. The yellow is fun, and I think the green is much the same as the grey. Brown is nice, but what about blue? I would look at that first, and then pick the yellow or the brown if the blue didn't look good.
You know me...I was prepared to like the sage green but ended up liking the brown better than that one. I don't like the grey at all. The yellow was pretty good, too.
