I vote no sashing. Once this quilt is together...and a border added...you will be amazed at how good it looks.

I once did a swap on Prodigy bulletin board (yep..way back)...and we swapped ugly fabrics...and then had to make a quilt & send pics to each person in the swap (hey, couldn't upload pics back then)... I loved that quilt! It had some of the ugliest fabrics in it...and when together...beautiful. I did a tumbling blocks pattern. My best friend got that quilt.
