You are definitely doing a good deed for the mother who lost her child. God bless you!

I too would use a white slashing. I made a pinwheel without smashing & regretted it after it was completed. Too busy and you can't see where one stops & the next starts.

I really like this idea! As it is now, it's so random that it "spins" my mind and doesn't show well. Too, add my vote to sashing--white on white might even be nice??. I'd use a piece from one of the blocks for the border. White isn't very practical if the quilt is used frequently. If it is simply for display, white will work.

I would use a narrow, white sashing with a random print square block at each corner between the blocks. Love the blocks.

I would be tempted to not use sashing at all. But, if you want to, consider white sashing with assorted color cornerstones. The small colored squares might look nice with the diagonal lines of the blocks. I would probably do a solid white border the same size as the sashing and then an outer border of whatever color you want to feature. Or, perhaps an outer border of all the colors pieced together (not a piano border, a lengthwise one). Please post a pic of what you decide to go with. Really like the top, colorful and vibrant but not too busy.

I think this idea would look good.

Wonderful colors!
I think white sashing around the center 6 blocks and also inside the “outer row” would
calm the eyes and not take away from the classy look. A same-size border and binding in red
would be nice also.
You are very sweet to be making this quilt for her.
