Not an expert on this, but I love the secondary block that you get when you do not use sashing. I love it!

That is hard to tell...I love your blocks... the black makes the block-work stand out more, which is beautiful... however the blue is very pretty and so is the red... If you are trying to match the quilt with some other color in a room (i.e. blue or red) I would use the matching color... but I really like the black as I think it features the blocks best... will be a beautiful quilt.

I like the background white the best. Gorgeous blocks. Don't ya just love how nicely you cn make really sharp points with paper piecing?

Much better with the narrower red sashing. I like it. :thumbup:

I agree, I actually can't decide on what color, but I think the sashing really needs to be narrower. Like about 1/2 of what is pictured.

I love your block, I really like the blue one, and the red one. But I am sure what ever you decide will be beautiful. My first choice is blue.
