It's a question of balance.

It seems to me that the colors in the sashing and border are so intense they wash out the blocks. The problem really isn't the color of the sashing; it's the intensity of the color. I would look for a milder orange and perhaps a different border fabric. The baskets are very delicate, so a medium-intensity sashing and border fabric would set them off. What you have now are high-intensity sashing and border fabric, which create too much contrast. You need *some* contrast, so you don't want to go too pale, but this seems to me to be too intense.
