I also have all the pinks in the squares and more white. Please help!

If you want delicate you achieved it with the softness of your pinks and whites. Happymrs has a great idea with log cabin blocks and zebra print on reverse side.
I love the softness and delicateness of what you have done already.

If you want to keep it sweet and delicate I wouldn't use zebra for the sashing or anywhere on the top- it would overwhelm the hearts, IMO. I would sash it in white to "float" the hearts, perhaps ad a bit of lace, make a pale pink border/binding, and then zebra print for the backing! :)

they are so sweet. I think a really light lime green would set them off for sashing. Pink and green are such good partners. I wouldn't go bright because I feel that would make them seem a tad too light and they are perfect just as they are, light and sweet like a new baby. That's my humble opinion.
