I like Melissa's idea. Where the sashing forms smaller corner stars. That's just for a little extra pizazz, because they are quite beautiful just as they are without the sashing.

Hi.. wow those are amazing and dramatic sparkly stars!!! I vote for no sashing too... the black stands them out all on their own!

I guess I am the oddball here. I like things to pop out and (if this were mine) I would pick a color from the design and add sashing between the blocks. Then I would do a border the same color. But that is me. I seldom make smaller quilts so all of mine are usually queen size (unless for a baby).

But I also think it looks good the way it is. My preference is sashing. Why not lay it out with fabric between the blocks and see what you like the best. You could do half of it that way and the other half laid out the way it is now and then decide.

Just remember it is your quilt and whatever you decide is the winner!!

My opinion..........no sashing needed on this one. It looks like the night sky filled with beautiful stars as is.

Those are beautiful stars!! I vote....if you want it bigger - black sashing, if you like the size with just the blocks, no sashing! With the sashing, the stars will just float a bit more. Great job! :D
