And as someone else stated, if you balance it with the borders, I think it will be perfect. The teal and hourglass blocks don't have enough "pop."Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02416966548835044422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648491809254365804.post-22836410053697753752014-11-25T07:06:05.635-08:002014-11-25T07:06:05.635-08:00To throw a wrench in your votes - mix them up? and...To throw a wrench in your votes - mix them up? and use them all?Alycia~Quiltygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283575876006453806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648491809254365804.post-51143790408185065592014-11-25T06:19:27.015-08:002014-11-25T06:19:27.015-08:00Here's my two cents' worth: I like teal!Here's my two cents' worth: I like teal!Barb Neiwerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05489488237974557963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648491809254365804.post-32796136663968694322014-11-24T19:57:26.667-08:002014-11-24T19:57:26.667-08:00I like the purple.

I think it adds such interest, but doesnt draw the eye away from the letters. the teal doesnt stand out enough, and the hour glasses are more cottage'y'.

Those are all great options for the cornerstones... I would personally lean toward an every other teal / hourglass combo. I really like how they play together, and that would cut down on how much the hourglass draws your eye.
