Perhaps a white on white fabric?

Try blue polka dot fabric strips around the blocks, then hold it up against the wall. Same with the pink & cream. Hope that helps you find the right color to use.

It's going to be beautiful. Show us when you are finished. Thanks.

I like the green of the leaves, the burgundy of the roses or the blue polka dot. Place each of the colors against your cobalt blue walls and see which one you fall in love with. That is the one you choose.

I would go with green as the main background and bring in the other colors from the green piece that will tie it all together. Then make a prairie point border of all the fabrics.

for me, I think the dark rose or the darker shade of green

My initial thought was the blue polka dot ... but then I would have to audition colors to get a true feeling of what "moves" me

I don't know but sure like it.

I would audition a soft white, pink, a darker blue, medium and medium/dark green. Sometimes it is the color you least expect that will set it off.

Love your blocks, so pretty.

i agree with the dark rose or burgundy

I think you need to bring in the wall color....not as colbalt as the walls but something to tie them in with the quilt.

Beautiful blocks!!!!
