Thanks for the suggestion. I agree with you. The animal print on the bottom is gray, it does look purple in this photo. Sorry about that. If you are interested in it, I bought it at a store in Webster Groves, MO called Fabric Nosherie. They have a website you can order from. I will check the manufacturer next time I am in there if that will help you.

First, I love that purple animal print - any chance you know where I can get some? Second, I think using the yellow print as a sashing doesn't have as significant a graphic impact because the values are too similar. Which would be ok if you wanted less of a visual separation. Otherwise I might go more towards an ivory or light pink, or the other way to a solid black or deep purple.

the plain fabric breaks the prints better I think and not so busy on the eye

This is a block made of small prints of the same tone and color. A 1/4 line of red fabric in-between gives it more depth and form. I would appreciate any comments.

Yeah...I think that little flat red piping gives the fabrics some separation and just a tiny bit of contrast.

This is my large scale print block. The vivid floral prints were improved with a black strip between them. I then played with the yellow large scale floral and two animal prints, one gray background, and one black backgrounds. The yellow floral seperate them. Any suggestions?
