Default need some help with sashing

Need some suggestions on the sashing on this quilt. Is the pink too much? What kind of sashing would you do? Suggestions please and thank you. I am not sure about this one at all.

I like the pink, but I do think it is a tad overpowering. Could you just make it narrower?

I like the pink also, but maybe lighter like the focus picture. It almost draws your attention away from the focus pictures which are so cute.

What a cute bunch of blocks! I think the pink is too much, have you thought of using the purple that is on the ladies' dresses in the block middle row on the right?

I too find it a bit over powering, have you tried a paler pink, or even a black or white, very cute quilt

That's a darling quilt top going there! I'm also thinking the pink is over powering the adorable blocks. Perhaps narrower or lighter or that purplish color. A black would be nice...

How cute love the pink idea it's just a tad overwhelming. What if you used narrow black pink black set of strips for sashing?

Very pretty, and maybe narrower strips would not be as overpowering.

I would use black for the sashing.
