    I'm not a big fan of sashing. I really like the "scrappy" look of the quilt.

    I like it without sashing. It is a very pretty quilt and shows well by itself. I would border it in red or black. Now that we have you and her totally confused just go with what feels right to her. LOL

    I like it with no sashing. The double border would be great. Pat her on the back for me. Great job!

    Great Job!... I like the black backing which makes you see the details of the block more. 2nd would be the blue... that just me.

    My vote is for no sashing. I think that makes the blocks pop. It will look very nice with a double border and no sashing. I see that I'm in the minority, but that is my opinion. Good luck at the fair.

    I know that I'm in the monority here, but I like the blues sashing best. When I'm trying to decided something like this, I take pictures (as you already have) and combine them so they can be viewed together (on paper or the computer). This helps me compare them with greater ease than flipping back and forth between pages or computer screen. Good luck and please keep us updated as to how this is finished.

    I also liked it w/ or w/o and liked all the sashing except the yellow. My concern here is why you are so involved? I've raised toooo many kids and I really think your daughter ought to be making her own decision. Kids usually know right away what they want. Can there really be a "wrong" way to do it? Sometimes we can become quilt police (or for whatever is invovled) and not let the child go with their own inclinations. I'm probably really off base with this and if so I apologize right now. I have a daughter who won't let her daughters leave anything until it is perfect (not even homework). They go along with it (its all they've ever known) but children need to make mistakes, or not the "best" decision ... they really learn more that way than if they are guided every step. This quilt design looks great, the specific color of a sashing (if any) should be her decision only. Only we older folk need opinions at times (well, kids may also, but not nearly so often if they have been encouraged to do their own thing).

    I love the black sashing, or the crazy quilt look with no sashing. Great quilt, I bet she wins a ribbon.
