Default Red & White Sampler - Sashing or No Sashing?

Hello everyone, I need your opinions. This is a red and white sampler that my quilt store did last year. I'm putting it together, but wanted your opinion on whether I should add sashing to each of the blocks.

Most of the quilts I've done have a sashing separating the blocks....so this seems like what I'm leaning towards.

Can you take a look at this and give me your opinions?

If I do sashing, what should I do? plain fabric? Piece some squares out of leftover red & white? Will it make the quilt too busy? And, you can see that they are different sizes.

I've sewn some of them together without the sashing......would it look "weird to have some sashed and some not?

Or, is it just fine the way it is?

Oops! Forgot to ask for suggestions on backing also..........if I don't piece the back...any suggestions on what to put on back!

Thanks for your help! Nora
