I agree, and have you thought about turning the baskets in different directions?

I think sashing of some fairly light fabric, but not white. Then bright cornerstones. Border should be the lovely "vintage green" that so often accompanies these lovely 30's prints.

I really like this idea.

def go with sashing ..... but I like contrast. I'd use something to make each block stand out. Love cornerstones idea

I agree with sewcrafty with the on point idea and then sashing. The setting triangles could be scrappy. Your baskets are beautiful and so colorful!

Pastel sashing with a different pastel cornerstones. Light blue and light yellow, maybe. Or pink and yellow.

I agree white would be alot of white but 1 color that matches the basket colors would be sweet-with maybe white cornerstones. IMHO love the baskets!
