If you decide to sash it, I would vote for the creamy white fabric....narrow.

I agree with this suggestion. It won't detract from the other colors and will repeat and reflect a fabric you've already used. Win win, I think.

Try laying the blocks on different color fabrics to see which you like best. I will admit I'd be tempted to go with the white from the center of the block if I used a sashing at all.

Please take a picture of the blocks side by side WITHOUT sashing. You might decide you like it. Pictures sometimes help when you're trying to make a decision. You might also take pictures using some of the sashing ideas mentioned by laying the suggested fabrics out and putting the blocks on top. Show us the pictures, too. We'd love to help again!

I would use a bright pink or dark pink.

What about the yellow in the blocks? Not too wide though. ?

I agree with a narrow creamy white sashing.

You'll have some nice graphic patterns across the whole quilt if you join those blocks directly to each other -
I agree...that would really make your butterflies pop...the butterflies are too cute...

I like the white with pale polka dots or white sashing.. but putting the fabrics next to the blocks will give you a way to see what you want.
Pretty blocks!
