    I think brown sashing would make the blocks really stand out.

    I like this suggestion - hope you will post photo of the completed quilt, whatever you decide!

    Great Quilt Block!
    Is there a med tan/gold/brown in the dotted fabric? Using that color for sashing might just frame it all and make it pop.

    I think a narrow one in brown, then white or the med. blue? Maybe choose one color for sashing, and put two borders? audition some fabrics.. I'd take this to a fabric shop or pull out your stash for ideas to get a visual. very cute block!

    What a pretty color combination. I agree with others about a darker blue for sashing.
