Yes, it's busy, but it's certainly not ugly!! I think you will like it alot more once its quilted. I agree with others here, don't use sashing. Perhaps some bold borders or muslin colored borders like Grandma58 recommended!

I don't think it's ugly....and I would probably use a light color beige sashing.

Thanks for posting the picture. I think it would look nice with a quiet,lighter colored sashing amd/or borders. I think a bright or dark border would be too strong for the blocks you have shown.

Your blocks are beautiful. The sash and border will really make the colors in the blocks pop.

I agree no sashing. I also see a secondary pattern forming where the blocks join. Keep going I don't think it is ugly either.

I like this idea.
