I, like fivepaws, like it without any sashing as it makes a secondary block. No matter what you decide, it is going to be beautiful.

I think, I've kind of mastered the y-seams now. I have a lot of the red sewed together now. Here's where I need everyone opinion. Do I want to sew the blocks together, or put the lt gray marble or dr gray marble sashing strips. I like the lt marble gray for sashing strips. And to everyone that knows about my lucky penny story. My lt weight singer machine, works like new. It only cost me $75.00 for lubrication, and some adjustments here and there[ATTACH=CONFIG]549229[/ATTACH] 2 blocks together[ATTACH=CONFIG]549230[/ATTACH]With the lt gray sashing.[ATTACH=CONFIG]549231[/ATTACH]The dk gray sashing

I like the blocks sewn together so that the arrow touches. But I also like the light gray sashing. I do not care much for the dark gray because it interrupts the flow of the light gray and the red arrows.

Beautiful blocks, by the way! Love your colors!

I like the light grey sashing. Your piecing is so well done!

I concur with Mimi Sews.

I love the look with the light grey sashings. I think it would be a nightmare to piece the blocks without sashings unless you have been very methodical when pressing to make sure your seams would nest properly.

Great block! I definitely prefer the light grey. It will be a lovely quilt.

Any of the combinations in your pictures would make a great looking quilt. However, you asked for opinions and mine is to make the quilt without sashings and use the sashing fabric in the borders-it you use borders. Nice blocks.

i like the light sashing best

I like the gray sashing. It is a beautiful pattern.
