Probably can't find the right "red" and not sure I want a beigh sashing....any suggestions welcome! Still need 10 blocks before I can start making the quilt so have plenty of time to worry about it! LOL

How about using a variety of reds/creams/beiges? Scrappy sashings and borders could go well with your sampler blocks since they're all done in different fabrics.

I would use a med beige to brown it would make it pop.

Depending on what the blocks look like, I may use a white. On the one I did for you, I used a white in the background and the beige might look ok. My thought is I would set them all up on the design wall and then audition fabrics to decide. If more used the beige/cream you requested, then I would go with that, if they used more white, I would go that direction. It all depends on how much cream/beige/white you have.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions! I think Ill try to find a shade of beige/brown that matches but Ill definately lay it out and try several things till I find something I like! I knew you all would help! Thanks!!

Just one other idea.... how about blue, green, or black? Maybe a mostly black that has red swirls in it... maybe
