Rotate every other block so there will be less bulk on the seams.

I agree! I love squares framed with white - it makes them pop.. gorgeous fabrics :)

The sashing will also give it a kind of modern looking twist to it instead of scrappy - not that scrappy is bad cause it isn't. I guess I like it better with the sashing between the squares for some reason. I'm in the minority lol.
