Well, as usual, I guess I'm the dissenting voice, ;)!
I would leave off the sashing *because* setting the blocks side-by-side creates a minor secondary pattern that gives the eye yet another design to look at. Sashing stops the action every time, in my opinion.

The colors are great and I like the top picture a lot.:)

i like the narrower sashing because it makes your blocks stand out more.

I agree, it will be gorgeous with the sashing and floral setting squares!!!

Beautiful - love the sashing.

It truly looks beautiful! Keep the narrow sashing - like someone says it helps draw your attention to the squares. Again, what a beautiful quilt!

I would only use the sashing if you are going to completely frame each block with it. The width is perfect though!
Either the floral or the cream would my choice for the setting triangles.

LOVE your quilt, the sashing and your setting idea. Great work!

I am with Jan on this one.

I am with Jan also, but I would like to see what it would look like if you sashed the outside edges only before you added the floral border. However, that might throw off your measurements...

Well, I have had all the thoughts that have been expressed. I may use this for a raffle quilt for a person who has had an accident and I wanted it to be nice. When I had the size sashing (auditioning) between the blocks, it formed a really neat secondary pattern which made the four-patch appear as a cornerstone on the outside of the new block (visual only). Then I cut them wrong and doggoned it, it changed the whole secondary thing. I thought it made the block the focus as well and decided well, maybe it would work. But then I wanted it to be really nice and I didn't want people to think "what in the world?" So that is when I went to you experts. I had neatly squared every single block and cut each sash individually so it would be nice and straight and just the right width. Guess my mind went on vacation. I didn't want to rip everythng because no matter how carefully, I think a bit of distortion can occur. Then I decided I had to sash the outer blocks if I was going to do it that way. So I am thinking that I will proceed, sash the outer blocks, audition the floral and give it a go. Any ideas for borders??? I thought of piano keys, if I could scrape enough fabric together. Have never done those. Currently it is about 70 by 80. If anyone has any other thoughts, I would love to hear them. I appreciate your comments taking the time to "talk" to me. Jan and Peckish and Lori, I think I will opt for the easier way out this time, but I value your opinions. The funny thing is that I started a quilt for my granddaughter and it was driving me crazy to match all the 36 diamonds in the big diamond, so thought I would whip this one out easy peasy. Then this happened!! I just need to get a pattern, follow it and do what it tells me instead of trying to be original (kind of).
