This is a really pretty quilt. It has very strong vertical lines with the stripes though and I think I prefer it without the sashing. If I were to sash it, I think I would prefer to use a fabric that is already in the quilt; avoid too strong a contrast.

Very pretty quilt without sashing.

I like no sashing but if you are going to go with sashing I think the yellow corner stones are a great but use the dark blue instead of black. Just my opinion

without gets my vote!

I like it without, too. The stripes seem to take the place of sashing.

I agree, no sashing, just borders!

I like it either way. I do like the added yellow cornerstones.

Mariposa 04-10-2011 12:05 PM

I vote for no sashing. Pretty as it is~

Lv2sew2011 04-10-2011 12:47 PM

I also agree no sashing its so pretty without it!

QuiltNama 04-10-2011 12:58 PM

It's very pretty without the black sashing.

janell2009 04-10-2011 01:02 PM

i vote no sashing.. It looks softer with out... the dark is very harsh looking to me..

I prefer your quilt withut sashing

serenitybygrace 04-10-2011 01:53 PM

Your quilt is beautiful with or without sashing. I would have never thought of the yellow. It is pretty.

juneayerza 04-10-2011 02:11 PM

I really like it with the sashing, just not only the yellow cornerstones, but the dark blue makes it really pop. Just MHO.

Happy Tails 04-10-2011 02:14 PM

I'm no help to you, I like both :)

I agree, before I scrolled down, my thought was, I like it the way the first picture showed it. Saw the dark sashing and thought it was a bit too dark and took away from the pattern and color of the fabrics.

I think I like it with NO sashing. Which I usually like it but your blocks are so pretty the way they are

darlenedowns 04-10-2011 04:29 PM

no sashing looks better
hey you asked

margecam52 04-10-2011 04:33 PM

I like the black and yellow...looks really pretty. You really need the contrast if you are doing piano key border...I'd also bind in the black... or maybe Navy blue instead of the black?

I like NO sashing. And, I love the quilt!! I am a heart person.........share the pattern name please. And if you have no where to put this quilt, I will be your new best friend :D

trolleystation 04-10-2011 04:45 PM

I vote for no sashing.

Marty K 04-10-2011 04:56 PM

I like the white border with no black suggestion.

Marty K 04-10-2011 05:00 PM

I would love to know the name of the pattern also.....I am really a heart person and love blue....thanks

Quiltaddict 04-10-2011 06:33 PM

I seem to be in the minority but I like it better with the sashing, especially if you are going to use a small black stopper border before the piano keys.

I agree better without sashing.

Linda71 04-10-2011 10:10 PM

I would not use sashing. It looks great.

QuiltinDirksen 04-11-2011 10:12 AM

Do you need sashing to finish? If so, a dark blue is my vote. IF you don't need to use sashing..... , I LOVE it without! It is really pretty. I don't care for the yellow and black, I think it distracts from the gorgeous pattern. Please post your finished project!

Joyciejo 04-11-2011 02:12 PM

I think it looks great without the sashing. Very nice.

ube quilting 04-11-2011 02:59 PM

A very nice quilt. My opinoin would be no sashing on this one and try the teal color or the darker purple for the border, it will make the whole quilt pop!

Jammin' Jane 04-11-2011 09:34 PM

It looks really nice without the sashing, but I would change the black for a darker shade of blue...maybe navy. I like how you brought the yellow into it. Then you could use both those colors in your border. Happy decision-making. Please show us when you are finished!!

I agree with Jo M - this quilt is gorgeous without sashing!

CorgiNole 04-12-2011 07:11 AM

I like the sashing, but not the yellow cornerstones.

Cheers, K
