Rotate every other block so there will be less bulk on the seams. |
I agree! I love squares framed with white - it makes them pop.. gorgeous fabrics :)

The sashing will also give it a kind of modern looking twist to it instead of scrappy - not that scrappy is bad cause it isn't. I guess I like it better with the sashing between the squares for some reason. I'm in the minority lol. |
oh... let the size decide though ~ what finished size are you "aiming" towards?

I love it the way it is...

I think it looks fine as it is, but if you use sashing, use the same color as your binding.
|
Love it as is. Very pretty.

Thanks everyone ya'll are always so helpful!

I was thinking a cream sashing, too, but if you're in a hurry, doing as is would work too! The binding will frame it nicely.
