what if you use some of the colored material and add another border or two?

I like the one without sashing.....but needs a borders......maybe a white.....then a stripe.

I like the idea of a narrow black sashing. Maybe with the brights as corner stones. Just an idea.

I have made blocks using the 4-patch and I am contemplating about sashing also. I think in your case if you were to use 4 of the 4-patch units as one block and then a narrow sashing with a dark color (black, navy blue or a darker green) you might like the effect better than just sashing between each 4-patch. Lay it out like that and see what you think.

I love it with sashing but would use a color rather than white. I don't have an opinion about which color, maybe ideas will come from those more experienced than me.

Like the first one, but it does need a border.Just my idea

Do you have a dark blue or navy, with maybe a red cornerstone?

I agree with the 16 blocks together and also the corner stones. Also because there are only some white blocks, you could turn them in so they don't touch the white sashing.

I think this is a good idea also.
