That pattern is so pretty! I too would add sashing to each block..... they're so pretty they should all be showcased. Can you share the pattern?

They are stunning. I would leave the sashing off.

I agree with Coral. Sashing will emphasize the individual stars.

This may be a hard decision for you but play with different colors, the background fabric, or no sashing at all. You may surprise yourself. Your blocks are beautiful. Please show us tour trip to completion.
