I like it without the sashing. How about prairie points in the same colors as the blocks?

I really liek the white sashing, then I'd add a narrow red border to stop the action from color in the blocks, then finish with wider outer borders, gonna be really pretty!

Great idea...I agree! And put the white squares into the centers of 16 patch so it's not up against the white sashing. I think they will really pop then.

I have no black material or I might try that as some of you have suggested. TQ.

I like it broken up by the sashings, and like the white for these. If it were mine, I'd try playing with the placement a little, to get rid of some of the "randomness"... such as turning 4 green corners towards each other, same with 4 red corners, 4 pink. Just play around until you get something you really like. It's going to be pretty, any way you go.

I like the white sashing, though I did one with similar fabric in big chunks and no sashing, but black print appliques and in some border pieces. Anything goes.

I agree with the others and would get some black...it would really make the colors pop.

I like it without the sashing-
if you decide on sashing, I do not think the white(light) is contrasting enough
There is no right or wrong, it is totally personal preference.

I have a quilt pattern that I designed. I will try to up load the picture if I can. I am not sure how to get it on this reply. My 4-patches are on point, seperated with a single square of fabric of the same size as your 4-patch, added sashing and cornerstones. It is still simple to piece but adds a lot of character to the quilt.
