What would you do???

I rather like the black outline - definately for the shoes.

Another alternative is to maybe pick the predominant colour of each block and stick with that - pink, lilac, pale blue, green .......

Most of the images I found use black but they also use brighter colours - your pastel shades are beautiful and the black may be a bit too much.

Difficult descision - I'm sure whatever you choose will look wonderful

Now this is adorable, Jane! I LOVE the blanket stitch 'look' on applique.
I can't wait to see what you run with, csarina!
Can't wait for the finished design.

Please note: I'm trying VERY hard to get off the exclamation point. (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
