Didn't plan ahead - need help now!

I decided to have fun with a sampler quilt. I downloaded 12" blocks and set to work, without thinking about how in the world to sash it... In the closeup picture you can see a few colors laying behind some of the blocks, in the larger pic are all the blocks I have done so far. I don't have enough of any one of these pastels to do 2-1/2" or so sashing. But maybe it should be a deep color? Or do all the horizontal sashes have to be the same color? I am just lost...

What about red for sashing? Looks like most blocks have some red in them. Tr a few different colors to see which you like.

The quilt can be whatever you want it to be.. there are no police here! :)
I think it would be great with crimson/maroon sashing. There are plenty of blocks with maroon in them to really make it pop. You could do cornerstones at each intersection of a lighter color.. maybe white? |
Not all the sashing has to be the same around each block!! and you could always set them on point for a different look. jmho

I also think that maroon or crimson sashing would look good. Maybe you could move the blocks around a little and see if you get inspired! Or i might consider a dark brown!

All great suggestions. I love your blocks. I am one of those who doesn't plan ahead much. Please post a picture when it is done.

Thank you for all these ideas! I did try what I thought was a maroon, but it turned the block colors closer to a burnt orange tint. Dark brown might be the answer. I never plan ahead, to be honest, but have always "gotten away with it" heretofore. I am sure this will work out somehow, too.

If it were mine, I would probably use white or black for the sashings. Your quilt, your way.
