I would go with a warm white/off white back ground. Have you considered gold/yellow sashing? Draw out the warm yellow from the floral. It might make for a very warm/happy quilt.

grab a couple more colors from your stash and lay them on them. I would try a soft green and maybe a tan, just audition a few fabrics. You are not limited to these two

I think the off white background works best. Your colors will stand out.

I like the white background, it shows off the other colors better.

I love the burgandy and white squares. Not sure about the black sashing...but I don't use much black...can't see very well when sewing on black.

I think the burgundy needs to be a lot darker as it is the same mid - tone as the rest and they blend in too much. Otherwise, go with the white as it has the right amount of contrast.

Try to pull out another color from your flowered print. I think these are beautiful and will look awesome for a quilt...please post pics when you have the finished quilt. Good luck.

me too.
