Totally agree with DH that lime just seems to swallow your blocks. I would lay the blocks on a blank surface and just lay strips of other colors next to some blocks or lay the block on the various colors if you are using a large piece of cloth and see which looks best, that is how I normally audition colors I work with.

You used my all time favorite color-GREEN! But I have to concur that even this one is too much for me. LOL.
What would my group think?
Go for the kinda soft teal in the blocks or even a medium brown-beige?
Good luck. The blocks are beautiful

Agree with your hubby. I know how completely computer monitors can distort color but you need something that will highlight not bury your beautiful sampler blocks. I would audition several different colors from the blocks to see which ones emphasized the blocks without hiding them. Maybe even a white or an ecru. Since you have an in house expert I would certainly ask his opinion.

I think the bright green may be a tad too bright and doesn't allow the blocks to shine. I think I would pick out a color in the print that you used and use that for sashing, or maybe use no sashing at all.
