    The orange looks good for the sashing. I might go with a darker color for the corner squares on the sashing. Maybe brown?

    I like the orange also. But, instead of navy blue cornerstones (which may clash with the other blues in the blocks) why not try black? All of the corner squares in your blocks are a light color. The black will be a nice contrast and make the blocks stand out.

    I love the idea of the orange sashing and they idea of navy cornerstones would look great together.

    But, I think I'll go for it. I do love scrappy quilts anyway.
    Now, to decide on the corner stone color. tan, navy, scrappy????
    Oh, this OCD drives me crazy sometimes. I can never make a decision.
    I think allot of us here have OCD. I spend more time deciding the right fabric and colors than I do making the quilt. Then after it's made, I say, I wish I would have done this or that. Go Figure. On your original quiestion. The orange, or that color family to me would be the best. Since you have very little dark colors in the scraps. The blue cornor stone's would look great.

    I'm a fan of all those bright colors, like orange, and I love your quilt with the orange sashing. It's a very nice pick on the orange. I also agree with cherisews about the corner squares. What I would do is audition several colors, probably darker ones, and see which one makes the quilt colors "pop" the most. Black, brown, blue, and even teal or russet.

    I like the orange, too, as I love bright colors... So, my suggestion for the cornerstones would be GREEN! Though, I think the navy would also be nice.
