Black would look great but I know what you mean about eyesight. I am working on a quilt top for past year and a half with black sashing and it's brutal on the eyes especially if you have to rippppp the stitches out. I now use a magnifier attachment to my machine. Didn't think I would ever use it but it is a godsend.
As far as the pinking edges I use the mountain peaks as the edge to sew my 1/4 in seam allowance.
I really like the pattern and colors as is.
Good luck!

Pinked edges are the reason I don't buy those pre-cut packs. That pinked edge is close to 1/4" deep so if you sew 1/4 from the outside of the pinked edge, you're only getting a few threads caught in your seam at that point. That just doesn't work for me. I know there are a lot of you that LOVE those packs..... I'll stick to my own cutting.
