They need quilting in them to stabilize them and it will help the overall look and longevity of the quilt and make it lay flat. If you leave these areas unquilted they will sag with use and the piecing stitches may come loose over time.
a second thought: perhaps some straight lines or X’s in the sashing areas....they don’t need to be echoed. It would add interest to the echoing already done.
I am definitely quilting the sashing, most have already been quilted. I was wondering what to do with the appliques since some pieces are rather large and a few have a bit of a a "wave" to them. I will probably try something very simple in one of the blocks and see how it looks.
