    Keep going. These kinds of quilts get better and better as they grow. The colors stop jumping out and become a beautiful pallet as a whole. I have one started that is all pink/white checkerboard style and it has been improving with each row. All scraps like yours only just the odd whites and everything from sweet baby pink to screaming hot pink. I also have a 2.5 postage stamp quilt that rides in my car as an emergency quilt. LOVE it! Keep piecing, Patchworkbarb .

    I would sash to ground the small squares. I also think a border frames a quilt and makes it look better.

    I always like borders. To my mind, it grounds the quilt. (sorry, a repeat of what granny 64 said.)

    I too like a border. It gives it that "finished look"

    I love it the way it is. No sashing.

    Haven't decided on the size, hopefully queen, but if I run out of steam a full. God knows I have enough scraps for a bouncy castle.

    No sashing on this one, imho. It looks too cool and put together this way. Sashing would just break it up into little blocks that wouldn't be one complete unit like it is now.

    Maybe a few borders would help reduce the scraps. Flying geese, hour glass, piano keys, a narrow border combined with a 4P border, and then some more borders.

    Love what you are doing so far.
    peace

    Stash it? Uh uh! Love it. Keep going! I like postage stamp quilts without borders.
