I took Mom's advice and that of a few others and decided to get rid of the white, both the sashing and the pink print on white.
About the same time mom was posting that I should get rid of the white, I'd been considering doing that very thing, and using the dark small scale purple as sashing instead. I'd have to go buy lots more fabric though and I wasn't sure that it would work well for a child's quilt. I do have this lilac in the stash and I rather like the colors together now. I honestly couldn't find any more pink prints that read more as a print AND in the tones that I needed. It's amazing how very specific those purple minarets turned out to be...it took me hours in the store just to find a few that worked. No wonder I prefer to work with clear, pure tones.
This looks much better! Have you tried it on navy or black?

That does look better. It's a shame that the spires are being so difficult they're cool.
