Best Laid plans

. . . go astray.
It was two or three years ago now that Bonnie Quilters made a sampler quilt. I made two sets of blocks. The traditional blue and white one "My Bonnie Blues"  (seen here )was  finished last year but the modernish blocks which I have been hesitant about because I like them so much (go figure) have been waiting in the wings. 

I had always planned to use this lovely grey fabric to sash them but on laying them out the effect is underwhelming. I asked my husband for a second opinion and he said "I see what you mean". So my idea of a tasteful refined sampler go out of the window as I haven't anything else and refuse absolutely to countenance white. So I shall cut framing strips for each block and go for a mishmash.
