very nice but tend to agree with most ...need a solid ...green or pink...and cornerstones in the opposite colors...could even make cornerstones out of the fabric you have used for the current sashings

Agree with most. Blocks are beautiful. I think the sashing is a bit busy, but I'm not a "solid" person. Tone-on-tone to me would be better. The color depends on the emphasis you want to make whether it is green or pink. Green might have it "pop" more. Good Luck.

Go with a solid color that compliments the prints in your blocks.

I would go with a solid that has movement maybe..but still reads solid..go darker..nice quilt !!

if it's all you have, it will work fine. but if you can change it, i'd try other fabrics.

thank you all so much for the help. my instinct was telling me solid..but i love the sashing fabric so much..so I'll us it as my backing or binding...awww what about a 1 inch border between two 3 inch solid borders with mitered corners like a picture frame? such as green, print,pink.. or vice verse.again thank you all off i go to put in a movie and rip rip rip..
thank you...
loretta.

darker solid would be my choice

To me it's not that it's busy, it's that it's so much lighter than the other prints so doesn't look like it belongs. If you want a print sashing - I would go with just using one of the prints that are in the block. A green print that is of the same tones as the other prints would look nice also.
