Such pretty blocks. Are you going for an old fashioned look? Then pick one of the colors you love from the blocks & go for it. Are you looking for something more up-to-date? What about an animal print...like a zebra, tiger, etc? Another modern take on this would be to use a black/white scrollwork or similar print. I am always amazed how a black/white or animal print takes a quilt top from ordinary to drop-dead gorgeous.

I'm voting for black!!!

White, or lt. cream.

This quilt (click here to see) was done with this block, with dark sashing. I made it looks like stars in the intersections. Don't know if that would work for yours or not, since you have so many different colors.

I think a black with a small print in it would make it stand out as you have so many different colors. I think actually I would have used a bright yellow. IMO, but then my kids tell me I don't know colors. Try laying the blocks out on fabric to see which you like the best, leaving your sashing (fabric yardage underneath) showing among the blocks.

I vote for black also.

I'd go for the blue. Good Luck!

If it were my quilt, I'd go with the navy blue print.

I think the navy would be great. Black would be a little to dark in my opinion.

I've been on a black kick lately. It will just make the blocks pop!
