My two cents - without sashing. I really like the pattern.

The color play of the blocks without the sashing make it look like a much more difficult-to-piece quilt. I'd leave the sashing for another project.

Just my opinion. It would be beautiful any way you do it.
I believe you should follow your heart, but the opinion above makes a lot of sense to me and that would be my choice also, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. No matter what you decide, it is really beautiful, I love your very nice colors.
Happy Quilting!!

I like it both ways but I think in this case the sashing would be the way I would go.

One vote for the sashing. I think that it sets off the blocks. My eye then concentrates on the actual design in the block.

Have we made you crazy with all our responses?!?!! Be sure to post a pic (with your DD, if she's willing) when you're done.
