HELP my 1st quilt
I finally finished all the blocks for my very 1st quilt but have ran into a huge problem..what color to use for the sash & boarders . All the blocks are blk/wht with white stips like shown in the picture (sorry about the lighting) I was originally going to do white sash but don't like that idea now. So I am stuck! I'm thinking maybe a dark red?? I need your expert advice on this so I can at long last say I made my 1st quilt! BTW I need to make 5 more for each of the rest of my kids then it's on to one for all 8 grand babies. Each block is 12" square. Thanking you all in advance for your help.

I think you have a lot of color choices here: red, butter yellow, bright green, turquoise or royal blue, pink, burnt orange....I would try to lay several colors next to your blocks and I am sure one will speak to you

Gosh, those blocks are pretty! I could see it either way -- either no sashing, or most any color you like!
If you choose a bright color, you could even use one color for the sashing and a different (also bright) color for the border -- for example, red sashing and blueberry or turquoise border. Or bright yellow/gold sashing and red border.
If you want a quieter look, then I think a deep but not dull red would work nicely.
