I would audition all kinds of colors and periodically pull the color away, look at what I had, and start over again eliminating some and reauditioning others. Constantly looking at a "no sash" possibility. Have fun. Please show pictures of your road to completion.

What do quilters do? We lay different colors down till something goes, oh yeah, perfect. Now and then it ends up, oh well, this will do. Have fun, this keeps me out of trouble with the neighborhood.

If she skipped the sashing, that would mean more blocks were needed. Color is such a personal choice. I would love turquoise or red. But most importantly, what would your recipient like? How wonderful that they would have the opportunity to participate in the creating of their quilt. What colors are in their bedroom? Luckily black and white can pretty much go with anything. The color(s) you choose though will have a dramatic impact on the final look and mood of the quilt so do as others have suggested and try several layouts of blocks on different fabrics, even once you have decided color! If you have a design board that would help tremendously.
