Should I sash these tipsy tumbler blocks
 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]518000[/ATTACH]I started making a tipsy tumbler quilt. I am wondering if I could sash the blocks. Has anyone made this quilt? I don't have any fabric to try and see what it would look like so I am coming to the experts for advice. If you think it would work what color would you use. Thanks for your help.

I'm thinking a small red border around the whole quilt and then, a piano key border done in all the prints you used and the cream background fabric as well, then finish with red binding. I don't think each individual block needs to be sashed.

i like this idea

I love the way these turned out, great job. a red border will look great with your design.

Tartan makes a good point! I just did a search on other quilts like this and most of them don't have a sashing.... you could use the background colour to make a sashing and that would keep it looking similar to the original design but make it easier to piece the top together.

That's going to be a really cute quilt. Be sure to show us what you ending up doing. BrendaK

Aesthetically, because the tumblers already "float" within their blocks, I wouldn't sash them.
Pretty cute quilt! I'm imagining all kinds of cute ways to quilt this....spilling drink, bubbles, puddles under the tumblers, waves in the background, other kinds of motion designs.

Maybe tip a few blocks completely but no sashing I think
