I took the scraps and just started sewing them together. Using the gingham, the floral, printed tan, solid lite purple, lite greens and some of them have mini mouse and some of the pieces have breast cancer print.. Each block is different, no 2 are a like. There are 25 blocks total that are 6 1/2 squares.
I have a question.
I am gonna use sashing but I can't decide on a color.
What color do you all think I should use for the sashing? Solid or print?

I would probably use a fabric that reads as a very solid color, and not too light in hue, either ... it will help your squares pop out.
And, I would put a border around it, also .... it will frame the whole project and give it the finishing touches it deserves.
Good job! <wave>

A sashing - either a solid or something that "reads" as one color -
any of the colors would be good - I'd go with something that seems to be a medium dark as compared to the colors in the blocks
Very light, bright and pretty blocks
