Just opened my collection of quilt squares destined to join the fight against breast cancer... and I had to share. Wow, I am overwhelmed.
Some expert advice on sashing, etc. please. My sister lost her life to this disease but a brave & persistant doctor saved my friend Joanie. This goes to that doctor, to donate, in her honor. Thanks to our hard working organizer & everyone who joined.

I'm sorry your sister lost her battle to the cancer.

The blocks are beautiful. I'd go with a deep rose/burgundy shade for sashing to make the blocks pop. Maybe a little darker than the applique on the 2nd row left block. Then maybe an outer border in a creamy background floral with several of the colors in the individual blocks and the same fabric for binding that you used for sashing.

Be sure to post a picture when you're done!

Such nice blocks and even more special that they have meaning. I think anyway you put them together would be lovely. I like the idea of sashing to frame each of them.
