I'd go with a ligher color - not sure WHAT lighter color - but it would really make the blocks stand out if you sash them.....hmmmm???

I'd use some sort of rosey color as sashing. Really pretty blocks.

Look at the way you have put the blocks together. There is WHITE between! It looks beautiful. You might do that, thin white between, and then border it with a black and white binding. Stunning!!! Why not show off the individul blocks as you have??????? You might even put four tassles on the corners to complete a victorian look.

Beautiful blocks, yes go with the sashing. It will bring out each block.

I think green would make the fans pop.

The way you have them laid out, it looks to me as though the fans/blocks have not been assembled/completed yet. Am I correct?

Therefore, my suggestion would be to not decide til you are to that point. In the meantime, see how it comes together and audition the variables til you need to make the decision.

My first thought was to go for no sashing and let the fans float on the fabric.

Then as I read the comments, I started to think of the darkest rose or green to keep the sashing subtle. You want the fans to pop and not lose them with an overpowering sashing.

As has oft been said here ... remember it's your quilt and there's no rules! Do what pleases you!!

I would line the blocks with a border of black and then continue with a color of your choice. The black will be seen because of the seams making that distance so that the color will not make such a large inpact. Yet the color will be seen as am accent to the entire project.

I really think the lighter green would really make those wonderful blocks stand out! I think anything brighter would detract from the blocks..Looks wonderful can't wait to see it done!

A fine stripe, in a metalic fabric, on the diagonal as sashing, would showcase the fans. Hope you post it when it's done. Happy Quilting!
