Do you want a girlie look? Then white on white. Do you want a striking look? Then burgundy. (that's my preference but I like brights)

I have had some great suggestions, I think I'm going to go with the blue dots. I wanted something darker and this is the deepest color in the block and I didn't want to use a new fabric.

Thanks so much for your help, I will surely post photos when I am done, I think this is going to be a dandy quilt!

Well from the many answers, we are all over the place. I think a light color but not white It would go so well with the beautiful colors in your blocks. I would love to see the pics as you put your blocks together. It is going to be beautiful!!!!!

yes burgundy or dark rose would be stunning and would look good with the blue walls

Your blue dots work out perfectly - keeps the quilt in soft colors - what an interesting thread -

I agree. I'd go darker for a contrast.

I'm sure whatever you choose will be beautiful.

That polka dot might look really good -- my FIRST thought was a light, light, blue, almost white. Not that I am an expert, but I would definitely audition a couple of ideas between those blocks to see how they really look. A dark blue would pop them out alright if it didn't clash with the cobalt on your walls.
