So those two blocks don't go to 'waste' you could use a set of Crayons on that white. Some soft strokes in the colors suggested by others with gently curving shapes. Then iron the block with paper in between to soak off the wax and make into two throw pillow for accents around the room or bed. (Experiment first on you leftover white scraps of course--then those experiments go in your next scrap Q.......lol Nothing wasted.)

I agree with Jan that using a yellow in place of the white would be great. I love the combination. But I'm a pastel/medium kind of gal.

Upon first looking at the picture, my eyes went right to the white, Maybe softening up with maybe a creamy ivory or off white would work. Otherwise I like the block.

Well, not voting on the color issue, but love the execution in the blocks. So precise and beautiful. Whatever you end up doing, will look great.

I agree about the white. I would use the floral in the block and use both or one of the solids for the sashing and leave the white out.

Ditto here also. I am not a fan of white in my quilts. The white often creates "holes" in the design. Perhaps you could consider a mottle fabric that would soften the blocks and blend with your other fabrics.

As always you will have many thoughts from all of us so it just comes down to what you decide. I personally like the white.

I agree with Jan, but I can also see the blocks you have by framing them with a dark green sashing and then separating the body of the quilt from the border with the same dark green narrow (1") border.
