I don't think my Mom would like black in hers, so was wondering if solid white squares would look good. Using the white is why I would not use VERY light pinks. Any opinions?
From your description of the pinks, I would think that just about any shade of green would make a great accent color since pink flowers are always on green stems, they are a natural blender to each other. IMHO
