I'm such a strong visual person so the only way I can figure these things out is to do a few quick mockups.

I would go with your intuition which is telling you to use black or primaries. I think the black sashing is definitely a possibility (first example). Also, try using the secondary colors in the note fabric - green and/or purple. Purple sashing with green cornerstones or green sashing with purple cornerstones (second example); or all purple sashing; or all green sashing. Black sashing with multicolored cornerstones is another possibility. Orange is another secondary color but I can't tell on my monitor if there is orange in the note fabric - looks like maybe it's in the guitar fabric.

My favorite is the black sashing because it emphasizes the pinwheels. Not sure I care for the green sashing. Try the tan and how about a clear pure gray? Try auditioning many combinations, take photos of each one, and one will pop out as the right one.

Have fun!
