The blocks are laid out on top of my dining room table.

I like the idea of the very small black sashing Then I would tie it with embroidery thread and put a 1/2 binding on it with the black sashing fabric.

It's very nice! Nothing better than doing it your way!

I agree that a narrow black sashing would set off your lovely blocks.

Quilting? hmmmmmm ..... as another poster suggested, how 'bout quilt as you go. I'd add additional rows of fancy stitches to quilt the layers together. Add the sashing, sew the blocks together, then add fancy stitches to the sashings. ..... or ..... if you don't want to quilt as you go, you could add the sashings, sew the blocks together, sandwich, (maybe stitch in the ditch around each block), then quilt by adding extra rows of fancy stitches inside the blocks and fancy stitches in the sashings.

In any case, it's a beautiful, useable Crazy Quilt!

If you want to see how a narrow dark sashing would look, you can check out my quasi-crazy quilt posting from last summer:

It is made with QAYG attachment of blocks, resulting in a 1/2" finished sash. I like the idea of black sashing and considered using it, but my eyes have trouble with black. The dark purple was a little easier for me.
Your decorative stitching is beautiful -- I wish I had that capability on my vintage machines.

It's so interesting to look at! You have some unique pieces in your blocks, and I love the stitching you've used. I think the suggestion of the black sashing will give it a rich finished look.
