Yes, yes, yes. It is perfect.

It does draw you eye away from the quilt blocks. But I love the color for something else.

I like it, but I favor bright colors.

Yes, use the orange!!!

Absolutely keep the orange. It makes me think of dreamsycles! I think the navy would be pretty too.

Leave it as it is. The orange is great.

The blocks are predominately soft colors, not brights. The most intense (bright, not muted) color and highest value contrast will grab the eye. As shown, the eye will be drawn to the sashing due to the intensity. And if you use navy corner stones, that would be the greatest value contrast. I would use the brown in the top left block for the sashing. As to corner stones, to continue the diagonal line of the small squares, I'd use a scrappy 4- patch for corner stones.

The way it's presented, the sashing definitely seperates the blocks. A narrower sashing would repeat the size of the squares within the blocks and be more unifying than seperating.
