Default Sashing or no??

I know this is a pretty rough estimate of what this will look like both ways (since they're not sewn), but which do you think will look better? With the white sashing or without? My blocks aren't perfectly square, so sashing could help me even them up.

Cool!!! You can vote yes or no!!

I like it without sashing best, but the sashes look good too. Not much help, huh?

I think the sashing around the blocks is plenty and you don't need any other.

I vote without the sashing. But if you need it to make the quilt the size you want, it does look nice WITH the sashing. So I would use the sashing as a last resort.

Definitely NOT the white sashing. Can you find another material that is both blue and orange, or just either blue or orange, and not too busy to detract from the blocks?

I vote for without the white sashing, too! Looks great without it.

no sashing makes it looks more cohesive I think - sashing chops it up.
