    What do you think, should I leave it without the black sashing, or have you got another idea, not black, some other colour???
    Thanks for your feed-back :D

    I'm not sure about the black...what does a really dark brown look like? I love the colors and the blocks.

    Hmmm I think I agree that is needs a sashing and I think sunflower is spot on with more of a dark brown. I think that will match your current colors better.

    Good luck! Can't wait to see it finished.

    Cheers!

    I think the black is too stark. Maybe if it were thinner strips.

    The widest black sashing is too bold--it isolates your blocks from one another. The narrowest (half inch/3/4 inch?) is better, but since you are featuring so many autumn and nature colors in your squares, why not try a dark brown. It will give your quilt that architectural look, and still remain in your color scheme of browns, tans, creams...
