I am with your DH on this one. Save those lime green strips for a quilt done in brighter colors. It completely takes over your nice sampler blocks and does drown them out. If I spent all the time piecing those blocks, I would want them to be the star of the show. I would pick a very subdued sashing color that recedes into the background, I would try auditioning a light tan, ecru or cream color or gray like others have suggested. Or you can go in the opposite direction and see what a dark or chocolate brown sashing looks like. If you want your quilt to have a "pop" of color try auditioning cornerstones in a color that compliments your blocks but doesn't distract.
