Wait until you get more blocks done as the "main" color may change. The first one I made I thought "oh, pink will make a good setting color". Well, by the time I finished with all of the blocks, pink was the least best for it.

Maybe add some lime green, orange or yellow. Think bright! (JMHO) :)

You might try them on black fabric and stand way back and look it it. The black may "float" the blocks and it could be an interesting look. Other colors could be orange, or yellow. Let us see it when you decide!

That's exactly what I was thinking. The patterns that come out during the blocks are stunning.

Your blocks are not that bad!! I think when you get a nice background with the blocks it will be much nicer than you or your daughter thinks!! Stack'n Whacks have a way of making ugly fabric look good!!!

I was going to say the same about the "floating effect " !!! I think it would look great !!!

The pineapple tops appear to be a lime green. I would use that , going for the POP factor
