So here's where I need help. The main colors that show up in the blocks are the light & medium pinks and a yellow-gold. There's a hint of 2 shades of green in each as well, but the green is never the "main" color of any block. I'm thinking of using the darker green (if I can match it) for the frame and then either a cream or the matching small print for the sashing. (http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog/p...zprd_10708394a) What are your thoughts?

Here's what I've got so far:
Very nice. I haven't done a stack n whack yet,but it is on my to do list. Your ideas sound good. Can't wait to see the finished product.
