I think the white does not set off the block as well as a color would. I would like one color not a variety. The yellow looks good but I would try other colors from the flowers too. Maybe even a darker color. I think that would set them off more, they seem lost in the white.

I agree with this opinion .... all of it!

I think your blocks are beautiful...GOOD JOB. I also think the yellow sashing make them "Pop". So that is my vote..Yellow. :thumbup:

Your opinion -- PLEASE!

Personally I think I would use a colored fabric, but only one color. A pastel yellow or mint green would look good. I've found with some of my things when I have a lot of different colors and need something to go with them all very pale yellow works extremely well for me, even though it isn't one of my favorite colors. Try something very pastel.
