I also have all the pinks in the squares and more white. Please help!

Use the zebra for sashing! High contrast and it will set off the hearts to perfection. Great job on the hearts. Are they applique?

Zebra and hot pink maybe for the borders or Zebra and one of the prints with a hot pink binding....so cute!!!!

Can't help but I love your hearts.

If you want delicate you achieved it with the softness of your pinks and whites. Happymrs has a great idea with log cabin blocks and zebra print on reverse side.
I love the softness and delicateness of what you have done already.

I love the yellow one. Add some zebra!

If you want to keep it sweet and delicate I wouldn't use zebra for the sashing or anywhere on the top- it would overwhelm the hearts, IMO. I would sash it in white to "float" the hearts, perhaps ad a bit of lace, make a pale pink border/binding, and then zebra print for the backing! :)

they are so sweet. I think a really light lime green would set them off for sashing. Pink and green are such good partners. I wouldn't go bright because I feel that would make them seem a tad too light and they are perfect just as they are, light and sweet like a new baby. That's my humble opinion.
