The gray would be pretty, and give it a softer look, or for a bolder look, the black would be nice.

I can't really tell if there is dark brown in those or not??? If there is a brown tone, maybe consider one that would compliment the pink since brown and pink go together well. If they are all black, then there are several suggestions that would work well. Very pretty and unusual blocks.

No, I really wish it were brown in there (I love pink & brown quilts!). Some have black & some have indigo.

I bought old quilt blocks at an auction, sashed them in black and they are beautiful!

It looks so good against the gray carpeting, I think you should consider blue or gray.

I thought gray too. My 24 year old niece says gray is the "it" color.
