The colors are soft - but pretty.
Not all quilts have to POP POP POP!!!! Calm and soothing is also good. |
I agree with sashing... and a medium green, with perhaps blue cornerstones... they truly are pretty blocks...
|
I would take a block to the fabric store and hold it in front of myself and let it pick the color from a wall of bolts! I have very good luck in doing that sometimes. I think I'd lean toward the coral color, but a bit brighter than what is in the center block's flowers.
|
I would keep that quilt is soft, comforting colors - soft peach or very soft green - match the colors in the blocks with blenders.
|
The triple sashing with nine patch cornerstones quilt which was posted is gorgeous! That would look great with your blocks in soft (very light and a bit darker) colors.
|
I think a green pulled from any of the flower leaves or stems. And I might go with a solid, or something that reads solid. I do think a peach or pink cornerstone would be lovely.
|
If you use a darker color, the blocks will pop. G

I agree with HelenS. I did this recently with a baby quilt I was making. I couldn't find anything in my stash to make a sashing strip. I finally took the whole quilt top shopping and let it choose one. And I came up with a winner.
|
Peachy pink and a medium green pulled from the picture. I wouldn't use blue
|
You could even just sew the blocks together as is & then put maybe two framing boarders around them. The first one a thin border & the second much wider.
