I was thinking use white but make snow ball blacks of same size using what looks like peach in the block as the other color in the snow ball block. Maybe using thes lights will make the blocks you were given stand out, and yet will create a secondary design making them all merge.

I'm thinking along the same lines as Dunster. Peach or soft yellow or light pink. Try to pick up the colors in the flowers. The green would brighten the quilt. I think it would be very pretty with all soft pastels and they would accent the gray in the blocks.

I would take the blocks to a fabric store and lay them out on a fabric to see what they would look like. Don't think you only have to use a solid color, many blenders and like fabrics might look nice too. I tried to find border fabric for one of my quilts, and kept buying what I thought would look good with it. I didn't like anything until I tried the blenders with the blocks.

That what I'd do tho I think I'd go for a peach or other warm color that goes with the colors in the blocks. They're beautiful blocks & will make a fabulous quilt for some little person. Please post when you decide how to use these little gems.

I'd take the blocks to the store to find blenders to go with them. I'd keep the soft, blendy look too and I'd probably do a triple sashing with 9 patch cornerstones.
