    It's lovely! When you post a final picture, could you please add a pic of the original fabric? I would love to see your inspiration.

    Both colors look nice but for my eye, the pink sort of competes for attention with those pretty blocks you worked so hard to make.

    My vote is for the Pink.

    If you're set on using only one color, my vote would be for the yellow. Otherwise, alternating somehow between the pink and the yellow could work too.

    Cool design!

    How about miniature 4P posies for the corner stones to mimic the blocks.

    I agree with this comment. I think a dark green would help emphasize the blocks.

    I agree and also choose the pink over the yellow.

    I too like the scrappy idea. If not, I prefer the pink. Stands out more.

    I'm a big fan of scrappy. But not for this quilt. I like the cornerstones being all the same. The pink would be wonderful, but a dark green would work, too.
