    Have you positioned them on point. You can try many things just laying them out. They sure are pretty.

    I think a dark green sashing would look great. White would look like the blocks were floating. Just my opinion. :-D

    I would put the baskets on point. I would definately have sashing. It should be a pastel color. I think it would look best with a blue or green similiar to what you've already used with the baskets. I would have an outside border of at least two colors. You could include a thin fabric border or small piping between the borders. Another option would be to have the outside border in the piano keyboard style. It might be cute to have the binding using pieces of all of the fabrics used in the quilt.

    I did a Dresden plate design and used white sashing with pinwheels in between it turned out so cute! Just an idea.

    I would do sashing between the blocks with cornerstones. take a few blocks with you to your stash or wherever you buy fabric and lay them on different colors to find just the right shade.. possibly a soft pink with green .. or another soft color that will not detract from your lovely baskets.
