My first thought was use the floral in place of the white. I would love to see a block this way. Love that we can learn from Jan. BrendaK

I think the blocks are blending in with the floral. Maybe you could add a small white border to each block to seperate the floral from the blocks. You need to stop the eye between the blocks and sashing. When you have the same color in any amt in both sashing and block they will appear to bleed from one to the other.
I don't think changing the white is the problem at all. I like the white. Tho you know me I would have used a small tiny print in place of the white. LOL

This was going to be my suggestion as well, just a little ¼" flange of white around those solid colour outside block border pieces & I think it would look stunning.

I agree that the white is too prominent. What if you made another block to go between them or use a stronger color some where that would offset the white? Someone suggested off white. That might work. I also like the idea of the floral instead of the white. Maybe white sashing? I am new at quilting. I just started to teach myself to quilt a few months ago so take my advise w/ a grain of salt.

I think the the would be great if you put a border of white around each block. That way the green and pink would float inside the blocks and the floral would tie them all together. I'm a huge fan of white though and I use it in every quilt I make.
