Wow! The sashing made all the difference . . . looks like a totally different quilt. I also agree w/michelleoc on the block placement 
I wonder if a black sashing would be worth considering. Either way, I think you have a "Winner"
Excellent workmanship!

mom - Love what you've done with the sashing. It really makes the green POP. However, I think I'd move the left-hand block to the bottom and the bottom to the left, that way the top and bottom blocks would match and the left and right blocks would match. As you can tell I prefer symmetry.

I agree about the sashing; I don't care for this reddish pink print with the blocks, which I think are really nice. I'd choose another fabric, maybe a solid red that matches the red in the block, or maybe that gold. Or black, if those tiny dots are black.

Your curved seams are great, but sorry, don't care much for the fabric. But then, I'm a beginner and can only say I like or not. I don't have enough experience or abilities to suggest changes.

I love the blocks...to me just the sashing needs a change. Black, or yellow or even for extra kapow...a solid red. Please show us when you are done....I think it's a beauty waiting to surprise us.

I'm thinking I agree that you are losing a lot of the movement in your DP blocks by adding the sashing. How about sewing them together without the sashing and then adding borders to make it bigger if needed?
