I believe that this block is called broken dishes. If not can someone supply the correct name?

Black sashing or what would you suggest?

It actually looks nice on the design wall with the white peeking thtough, so I think white or off-white would work. You have so many colors to choose from! Black always makes a statement, so I would lay the blocks out on black to see whether I liked that look. It will be beautiful.

Meant to add - this is not the traditional broken dishes block. If you set this block on point and put a square around it (triangles on each side) it would be broken dishes.

I just went in search of the name for the block and stumbled on this quilt, where the block is called X block. (On EQ7 is it called 4 X). Anyway, notice that the quilter used all different colors of sashing, and it is beautiful. Her layout is a little different in that the same fabric is used on either side of the sashing, but I don't think that is necessary for the different colors of sashing to look good.

I agree. It IS beautiful by the way. I'd try other colors for sashing as well. Then you can post 1/2 a dozen or so and we can enjoy seeing the different looks as well. 8-)

Now the blocks look like flowers vining on trellis, so I would go with white.

Nice, I've seen it listed as broken dishes also. Some blocks have several different names.

When I first pulled up the picture, I thought the white was the sashing at first. It really looks nice with the white. But with all the pretty colors in the blocks, you could use almost any solid color. Blue pops out to me too.
