Well a lady at DH office is having a baby in Nov..What it is already Nov.!!
I need it by Friday..well plenty on time you say? Well DH is going in for knee surgery on Wednesday..He will be in hospital till Saturday so that just leaves today and tomorrow..I can bring it with me and do the binding while I sit with him..I ran in there yesterday and threw these squares together. Oh course I don't like them after they got put together and don't know what to do with them..Was going to just sew them together and put a pink border but now I feel like the need something to divide them..But what color?? Help what would you do??

I personally would sash them... this way you don't have to worry as much about the points being absolutely perfect. They aren't quite as noticeable with a solid color in the corners... I like the less stressy way to do anything.
The sashing will also give it a kind of modern looking twist to it instead of scrappy - not that scrappy is bad cause it isn't. I guess I like it better with the sashing between the squares for some reason. I'm in the minority lol.

I think it's fine the way it is.
But, if you want too, add giant ric rac as a substitute sashing. Maybe even wait until you are quilting it so you can quilt and add ric rac at the same time.
If you add a pink border, you might want to make sure your pink blocks are not on the outside.
They will be happy no matter what you do. Something homemade is always special.

If it's too crazy-busy for your taste, then sashing is your friend. I'd go with either a bright white or pink or purple. But do stash that advice about rotating the blocks; it'll make a future project go more smoothly.
