I would use the pink polka-dot that is in the center square of each block. It is in each of the blocks, but not right next to the sashing.

I think red would be striking since there is small amounts of red in the blocks

So sashing is my vote too!

I'd go for the darker pink as well. Make those beautiful butterflies just pop!

I would see how they look without sashing first. You're like to get a really interesting secondary pattern. If I decided they needed sashing I'd go with either the fabric the butterflies are on or a white on white and use some of the block fabrics for cornerstones.

Pretty blocks! I would go with a medium pink sashing.

Try setting them together without sashing you will get a whole new look. Might have to make additional blocks to achive the size you want, but I think your quilt will look much more interesting!

I would use the gold color to match the gold in the fabric and make narrow sashing. How about thin strip of the gold between two light colored strips to make the sashing.
