I think a very small green sashing would make each basket stand out....or "pop". Then do your binding in the same green without a border so as to not make the quilt any bigger than you want it. Good luck. Your baskets are beautiful.

Gorgeous work !
I'd do a small "30's green" sashing, it would set the blocks and accent them. You could do pink posts at the intersections. IMHO, pink sashing will make it a really PINK quilt. But I'm a green person so ... :)
