If I am thinking of various colors for sashing, I do go look to see what other quilters have done (Google), then try various colors being sure to take photos (camera or tablet or phone) and see what looks best. Very gorgeous blocks!!

Maybe a colored outer border afterwards if you wanted.
I agree I would use white which seems to me to really bring the colors of the blocks out.

I agree, lynnie. I've done my Jane Stickle quilt with the same muslin as the background and love the look. It lets the blocks "speak for themselves".

I like the white borders on all 4 sides which is what I am assuming you are planning to do. How about putting it on point like the green quilt in the 3rd row of the goggle link.

If you look at KathyT's link, the upper right quilt is so beautiful with a little white. Yours is lovely.
