Sashing would make it pop.

I think it's awesome without sashing. A nice border would be nice though. Great work. I'm proud of you!!

For a baby, I love it the way it is. I agree that sashing would give up the secondary pattern of the hourglasses. Fandango doesn't need anything to make it pop. I loved the quilt I did for a daughter with it.

Yours is very pretty. I would use a narrow coral border followed by a mid width cream to finish it. You need the coral or aqua to contain all the color. You can find one of the prints online if you want your last border to match. I had the big light coral one and the largest brown, but others were available.

I'm making pinwheels too and I like where you can see the inner box that having them touching creates. So I vote for No border. (that's what I'm doing with mine). :lol:

Pretty. I would not use sashing, I would put at least one border around it, to give it a finished look. Just me.

Leave it like it is and add narrow inner border and a wider outer border.
