Pink and white is a classic combination. No reason it wouldn't work.

I would vote for a medium to dark brown. Pink and brown are nice together, at least that is what I think when I see chocolate and strawberry ice cream.....

Any color you choose would look good -- I just made one in shades of light gray with brights as the squares in between -it looks really nice!!
|
I think white would look great if you go bak to the bright hues for the binding.

If I ever make myself such a quilt, I plan to attach a 2.5" black solid square on both ends of the jelly roll strips as accents. I've seen very attractive pink/black quilts. I don't think my Mom would like black in hers, so was wondering if solid white squares would look good. Using the white is why I would not use VERY light pinks. Any opinions? |
Take a look over in Pictures - feline fanatic showed a jelly roll in bright pinks today, it is really nice looking. Just another idea for you.

I really like the combination of pink and soft grey. That would be my suggestion, especially for an older woman. Very restful next to your brighter pinks.

I always thought white or black squares would look kind of neat, but after looking at the ones on this pinterest page I think I prefer the strips cut & joined on the diagonal & if you want a splash of something else, then an appliqué. JMHO

What about a shade of blue, like navy or royal?
|
I think the white would look good. I have seen a jelly roll quilt in blues done with the white squares and it was striking. Should work for pink as well.
