    I'd use a narrower black for sashing; the pink is too overpowering.

    I'm going to be the odd "man" out here, but what about a white-black-white sashing? That was my first thought after you asked about the pink......I also like the thinner hot pink sashing idea.

    I like the pink - although it is bright it goes with the style of the blocks. Certainly not traditional - but lots of fun!

    How would the green that is in the pictures look? It might be a little muted and emphasize the designs more. Is this a Loralee (sp) design (which I love)?

    I also think the pink is a little too bright for those adorable blocks. I agree with trying to pick up a color in the blocks themselves; the purple, reddish or even the orangish/gold color of the hair, etc.

    If it were my quilt I'd try red, green and maybe a yellow. Pink is too girly for me and wouldn't go with anything in my house.

    While the pink is very pretty, picking up the pink in the blocks, I think it might be too overpowering and take away from the cute blocks. I would go with narrower sashing or pick a lighter pink from the blocks. Adorable quilt.

    I prefer the black, as it doesn't take any focus away from the ladies :-)

    Love the pink, but seems wide, maybe cut in half , then maybe a solid black next to it. Depends on how big you want the finished project.
