I would definitely use a thin Zebra sashing with a pale pink border and a pink cornerstone in the Zebra. Love the pattern

Bright pink sashing with white corners and zebra for back and binding.

Thanks for the great response and advice! I'm still working on it. I flipped the hearts around in different directions and it totally changed the look! I will post pictures when I get a little farther along. I could still use suggestions!

How about laying the hearts with points together so they make a flower?

Your hearts are beautiful! As soon as I saw them this popped into my head.
- you could use a small black & white check for the border(to co-ordinate with the zebra stripes in the room) and one of the soft greens (from the leaves on the flowers) as the binding. I'd do the back in white muslin with thin pale pink ribbon bows at the intersections, and a white eyelit(sp?) ruffle.

I would do zebra (small scale) between the blocks.

sashing maybe a soft mint green. I love the pink and zebra theme but this is from grandma and can be just soft and gentle.

It looks like there is a little yellow in the fabrics you used?? I think a pale yellow would be pretty..

Zebra sashing and then a border of the print with the little pink roses.
