I think it would break up the chain if you sashed.

Am in agreement - no sashing. Very nice quilt.

I agree with everyone else-no sashing needed. Love your fabric and pattern. You did a great job and I think sashing would make it lose it's appearance that makes it a D9P

I like it as is but if you need it to be bigger a double sashing would be attractive also. Perhaps a dark blue and then red. Try it out and take a look or snap with your cell phone. See what pleases your eye.

I agree with no sashing, but you could lay out a large piece of fabric that might be used for sashing and lay the pieces on it. A design wall, the floor or a camera would help to see this in perspective.

But I have another idea if you want it bigger. Double disappear it. Lay four of your pieces as the corners of another nine-patch, keeping the centers toward the center. Add a new center the size of those blocks, either the same as your old centers or a different coordinating color. Now add new patches to the four sides (probably a neutral) and sew that 9-patch together. Now when you disappear the 9-patch you have a whole new pattern and a much larger quilt.

I would definitely leave off the sashing. Your fabrics are wonderful just as they are. If you need the quilt larger, add a border or two; otherwise, enjoy the terrific quilt you have created.

I wouldn't either. They go together beautifully just as you have them, plus they create a secondary pattern that is Wow! Wonderful blocks! This is going to be a lovely quilt!

I don't think so, as it looks good the way it is.
