    I love your colors but I do think the sashing strip color is a little weak. Maybe try the same fabric as the block inner (the print) points.

    I love that sashing fabric but it is pulling my eye away from your great blocks.

    I vote solid pink sashing. Gorgeous quilt!

    The fabric colors you are using are very sweet together and coordinate nicely and if you want the block to be the center of attention then make the sashing solid but not dark to get a wonderful result for the finished piece. One suggestion for the next time check your measurement on cutting your triangles, you have eliminated your seam allowance so your points are cut off. Moosegirl

    I agree with most everyone else, that the print seems a bit to busy and that a solid color would be pretty. Can't wait to see it finished.

    Way too busy for me, I would put a green or maybe a pink for the sashing. I guess it depends on which color you want to bring out.
