This is very pretty. I think a light color would look best, a white, cream or very soft blue.

I would suggest a bright color to pop the blocks.

I made it in florals for a friends retirement.......

edited: now that I look at it closely, you don't have the strip sewn in the block..is that the hour glass block.

The white looks wonderful. It lets the colors in the quilt be the "star" of the quilt and not the black stashing fighting to be the "star". Really nice blocks!!
