    I'd go with the scrappy idea, too. It will add interest I think.

    I am totally in agreement with the dark green leaf material. That would be just right for this quilt. It would bring out the flowers in the blocks, not detract from them.

    I like the yellow best. To me it seems to make the blocks pop more than the pink. Whatever you decide, the quilt is going to be beautiful.

    I like the yellow cornerstones. It pulls out the yellow in the blocks. Since there are more pink flower blocks than yellow, I think yellow balances the look. In any event, this quilt will be beautiful!

    When I couldn't choose between the pink and yellow I thought of dark green, and then read all the dark green or dark green leafy recommendations, so that's my pick.

    The pink really pops. The yellow is nice.

    Cheers, K

    I like it either way. If you used a few more colors you could run your cornerstone color diagonally down the blocks and they would draw the eye in that direction
