OK - when I looked at the 3 pictures the first one jumped out at me - meaning (if this quilt were mine) I would sash with something the approximate color of the background in the picture (grey, cream, white) and I would make the sashing narrow so as not to detract from those gorgeous blocks at all. The other option would be a thin black or charcoal grey. IMHO

I like the yellow - but i think that it would look great w/o any sashing. Love that fabric.

I love the yellow sashing, it makes the blocks stand out.

I agree with merrylouw. I think sashing would really make the blocks pop, especially if you used black ! You have enough black fabric in the blocks to balance out with a black sashing.

I would find a sashing that does not clash so much with the block (you need a more neutral sashing) the ones you have are too bright and will take away from all the hard work you have put into this quilt

If you use the yellow sashing, it looks like the blocks are floating, I like that effect. The blue sashing makes each block stand out and no sashing also looks nice.

I vote for the yellow sashing. It really makes the blocks stand out.

I prefer no sashing or the yellow.

I like the blue .... frames the blocks better IMHO.....

Good job!
