Default X Block: To say or not to sash

I attending a quick demo from Barbara Black at the Long Beach Quilt Festival last year. I loved her X Blocks, which she noted could be pre-cut friendly. She has a tutorial on her website, but her method is based on the "X" block from Sharyn Craig's book, Layer 'em Up.

I bought a charm pack with colors I loved and a good variety of lights and darks from. Vendor at the Show. I finally made the blocks but am not sure how to proceed at this point (other than trimming to unfinished size, which will be either 3” or 3.5”).

What say you brilliant quilters? Should I add a lot more blocks so it doesn’t look so matchy matchy? Just add sashing and cornerstones? If I’m adding something, what color family? The fabric I used is Nantucket Summer and designer Camille Roskelley has lots of fabric lines that would coordinate with colors like pink or olive green. Or nothing more needed, just sew them together for a small wall hanging?
