I am with Sharon. I would do a very narrow black sashing now more then 1 inch or no sashing.

Well, I am anxious to see what you decide. There have been so many suggestions. I am in the minority though, as I like the white sashing. I like white in quilts though, and I know that many quilters don't.
What a pretty quilt it will be, whatever you decide.

I decided to whip out the Strip Tube Ruler and start cutting and make the Daniela Block following directions in the ruler packaging. Now the question - to sash or not to sash? All opinions and suggestions welcome... I pulled out Marcus Bros. White Lites but I also have Kona white.

The blocks are wild and bright! Let them be!...............

i agree that the white sashing doesn't enhance the design. might work if you used cornerstones though. Otherwise, i also like the idea of a narrow black sashing. The quilt is bright and the black would make it dramatic. nice fabrics. i probably would have bought them as well.
