I like it with the red sashing! Makes it POP!

Like the red best. What is the pattern? I love it and you did a great job.

This is Carol Doak's Alaska block, from her 50 Fabulous Paper-Pieced Stars book.

I agree with all of this - including a narrower red sashing - so the beautiful, almost delicate blocks aren't overpowered.

I like the red the best. It makes your eye move across the quilt and it is dramatic! Just me ;-)
