I recently quilted a 4-patch comfort quilt that another guild member put together from miscellaneous blue and red squares of donated fabrics. I didn't have too much hope for it when I first saw the top, but you wouldn't believe how pretty it was after it was finished, and I didn't do anything fancy with the quilting. (Sorry, I forgot to take pictures.)
I was thinking on the same lines. No sashing! I like the idea of the borders and the binding will look great because I've done scrapy bindings on several quilts and it looked great. But whatever you decide it will look great (not ugly). Believe in yourself.
