I would go with black or white Sashing. It would help your blocks pop. The blocks tend to blend in with the blue and yellow Sashing strips. Good luck! Beautiful blocks!

I like it without the sashing. I agree it would make a great scrappy quilt :-)

The yellow sashing makes the blocks pop better, but either way it will be pretty!

Both options are lovely, but I think black would frame out each block very nicely - make each stand out and give more of a high end look. Hope you show us the final results! Thanks :lol:

I like this one any way you do it! Funny how it looks so different each way. You just can't go wrong! So depending on the size you need to end up with would be a driving force to me for how you finish it. Blue or yellow would depend on where the quilt will be used when finished. I like them all!

Not much help am I?? LOl!

No sashing makes it look scrappier. I really like the cheerful look with the yellow but that's just my opinion. I think it all comes down to what look you are going for. It will be quite lovely no matter which of the 3 you choose.
