I really like the look as it is........and maybe a small inner border and a wider outer one......that would help to get the right width for you......
it's your quilt, so it your choice.......but as it is, it looks great.... |
you can just put some sashing strips between them and see how you like it. If I were doing it I would just butt them together it looks neat that way.

I would probably not sash it, but add borders instead or if you do sash it, maybe sash not each block but every 4 (4 block square) so you keep the diamond pattern of 4 blocks together
Heres my string quilt.. I used a foundation muslin leaving the center diagonals blank to get the lattice effect.I'm very happy with how it turned out. Yours will be gorgeous no matter what you do ;-) |
no sashing. Like it this way maybe a black border or a med brown.
|
I wouldn't put sashing on it either, pops out without it.
Very pretty. |
I'd use on of the greens for the sashing and frame and then bind it in black.

I am just finishing a red, white & blue quilt. I am doing a 2 inch white sashing. I put 4 blocks togather & framed the blocks. I will also put a border on, have not decided on color yet. I think sashing does wounders.

I think any deep color, or light color, print (curved lines?) or solid might work

The blocks are just pinned to my flannel wall; I have yet to sort them on where they should go.
I think I'd join the blocks so the diamonds are one and make up the difference with borders. |
