Your piecing is sooo perfect....great job!

I like the idea of no sashing. But if you decide you want sashing, I'd go with the yellow....looks cheerier to me and your scrappy blocks are bright and cheery.

Thanks for sharing!! Be sure to post the finished project!

Definitely sashing! I love sashing on quilts with lots of colors. The blue is very nice but I am partial to black and dark brown. It is going to be very pretty no matter how you do it.

I agree. Or no sashing at all.

What color is the room that you are going to use the quilt in? That is the color I would go with or (actually) I would try white sashing and see what it looks like.
