What about a raspberry marble?

How about dots, to continue the lighthearted look? Maybe something like these:

I think I would go with the dark blue in the blocks..........

Lots of people go for the brightest of colors so don't feel bad about yours. I would choose a print for sashing-maybe a white background with all the brights in it. If it's going to be for a child, what about a circus print? They are also vivid and joyful. Or a bright floral?

Actually, I really like red and yellow together. |

I would add floral fabrics to soften. Found these at j joanns.
Blue, yellow and hint of green. [ATTACH=CONFIG]199146[/ATTACH] |
The colors opposite (or complementary) to yellow are purple and the blue. Check out the color wheel and explanation below. I would add some prints, tone on tone etc for some variation. Or, you can always make larger (16 to 18" blocks - simple: Ohio Star) and use what you have made as the centers of these new blocks.
