I see mostly reds too.

I see red first, would go lighter for sashing.

audition several different colors. If you are going to use this on a bed then lay the top down to audition your colors.

I see lots of red and lots of dark. I would use sashing in a light color, tan, beige, even light blue with black corners.

Scissor Queen has a good idea, go to the quilt store and lay the blocks on some different colors. The blocks will tell what color sashing to use.

Red or blue.

I think I would use a navy blue sashing. It might "pull" the navy in the blocks and tone down the red some.

The red seems to jump out at you. I think it's a good idea to audition fabrics at your LQS. If you use red, it will focus on the red in the blocks, and if you use blue it will focus the eye to the blue. It would be a tough decision for me. By the way, your blocks are so pretty, and the quilt will be very nice. Can't wait to see what you choose.

What about black to rest your eye. I too see a lot of red.

What is not to love about your blocks. I would keep with the happy colors and use a friendly yellow.
