I like the first picture with no sashing, but if you do want the sashes I would definitely use either the red or blue solid for the sashing and would probably do the 16 patch idea. Can't wait to see the finished quilt. It's going to be great no matter what you do!

I like the white sashing. Then I'd add a maybe a 1 inch blue border and then wider red border.

I like them side by side - no sashing.

Without the sashing the colours look great right next to each other. Either way will be lovely. If you do opt for sashing, I'm not sure white is the colour that complements best. But I like things really bright, it's not everyone's taste. I lack subtlety!

I would do sashing with a square of one of your fabrics where the 4 blocks come together. I think that would both pull the blocks together and give you the color contrast you're looking for. Just my opinion.

I agree. The sashing would look better with some color.

The white sashing doesn't do anything ... I'd try black. I think it would look great if you put the four patches on point with the black sashing!

I would put a white border around it and then maybe make the sash out of strips of your colors. Its yours so make it yours by doing what you feel comfortable with.
