I was given 9 of these blocks to use for a Linus quilt. Someone went to a lot of bother to make them so I want to make something nice with them but they look like shadows against any other color I've tried so far. All my fabrics are bright - well mostly - and yellows, ginger, green, white...all make the blocks look grey.
Any suggestions from people with a better eye for color or design would be much appreciated.

I would pull a green from the block, a medium value I think.

Anastasia leans towards yellow...or perhaps mauve.
These blocks, both in color and style, are as opposite to my usual style as you can get.

Yes, maybe the green I tried was too strong

QuiltinPeg do you have any suggestions for style? should I just insert plain blocks or try to mirror these in some way?

QuiltinPeg

Acually my first thought was navy blue, but I think that would be too strong.

IMHO, absolutely green! with pink corner stones!

I would sash the blocks at about 1/4 of the width, kind of a lattice look. They look like the could be climbing a trellis.

Maybe a soft yellow or peach?

I like the cornerstone in pink idea.
