I was wanting to know if you think it would be okay to have the cream for the set in triangles and then the flower material for the border or any suggestions.

beautiful blocks!
I would chose a small floral print with a cream background. If you have enough of the cream, it could be used in an inner border and then the border fabric you are planning on.

Are your sashings red or coral? I love the look of the blocks with the sashing.

Thinking "Outside the Basket"...what do you think? Does this work as a bassinet for the dolly...or look more like the basket Moses was in? lol!
