My suggestion is to bring out the pink/ mauve color, depends what your color you use for the rest of your decor .

I don't know what color to use as the joiner strips. I think this will be the most important choice for the success of this quilt.

My bedroom walls have a cobalt blue in a batik look.

I will appreciate suggestions!

I would try darker rose to bring out the other colors

Beautiful colors. I think that White would be your best bet and seem to tie it altogether. You might audition a very very pale mint green, or possibly a very light almost white yellow and see what that would do. That's looking good there.

The choice you made was the first thing that popped up in my head. Can hardly wait to see it finished.

I think what you have done is stunning, and the color choices are fabulous. What is the name of the quilt pattern? String quilt? I am not good with abreviations. I agree that the blue in the polkadots, the pink, or white. I am afraid too dark a color will overtake the whole beautiful block. You want the wuilt to stand out not the framing. It is just beautiful.

My first thought is something darker to frame them. That is going to be a beautiful quilt. Love the colors.
