    I like the idea of the reds with those grey, black and white squares.

        Love the red, it really makes the squares stand out

          My favorite is the red with rust a close second.

              I like the burgandy, but I can see why it's hard to choose. I like the rusty color too, the blue pops. lol, If I keep thinking about it, I wouldn't know what to choose either!

                Red! Second choice gold, but I think red pops way better. Interesting fabrics you have there.

                  I would choose the red but feel like it is the one that is always done with the black and white. Maybe theres a reason for that.
                  I just bought a new rug for my living room and thought the rust or gold would go well with that
                  The aqua seems really sedate but calming
                  I agree that the blue really pops but my last two quilts were blue and white
                  I Think I will just wait for a few more posts and tally them up and use whatever is the winner

                      Yes, what was I thinking. I bought them from connecting threads thinking they would be good for backings and there they have sat. I know I need at least 2 yards to make 400 squares and then I was thinking if I made those snowball trimmings into usable hsts and added some solid and perhaps a thin border of whatever color. Anyway, just shopping my stash!!

                          I was going to say red also but after you mentioned the calming effect of aqua, I think that could be pretty too. Here's a link showing quilts with aqua/blk/white.

                              wow. I liked those so I went to the same search for red instead of aqua and ya know, I like those too.
