I have the exact same blocks and they are put away because I don't know what to do with them either. I had an idea in mind but when I did a 'sample' sashing, it didn't look good. I bought my blocks when they had been reduced to 50% off and thought I could surely find something to finish them. Would you like me to send you my blocks and you could put them all together and have a quilt?

Don't try to DO anything with the colors but use them!
Browns or black would really mess the happy quality of the blocks up. Find the same colors in polka dots, or stripes, or florals and go with the flow! If you really don't like it for yourself, think how happy a child would be to receive such a happy quilt! I have made baby quilts using all different brights and always binding them in black and white zebra print and the babies eyes can follow the colors. Enjoy the joy of the colors and make someone else happy with it. You have done a lovely job on the blocks!

Can just see something like them for your sashing, one of your blues for a narrow border & then finshed off a wide border of the floral again. Maybe find a floral with these colors but with a white background, which may help calm the colors some.
