I agree that the board is the greatest! It has advanced my progress in a never ending learning experience called quilting.

I like it with out the sashing but also think that a narrower sashing, maybe 1 to 1 1/2" would not be so overwhelming to the blocks.Try making the sashing about one third the width of the pieced strip. They are 4" so try 1 1/4" wide. I like the cream color and wouldn't red corner stones be awesome!
Either way will be very nice.
peace

Default left out a word

If I were making this quilt, I'd go without the sashing. However,if I were to want sashing, I'd do it with narrow sashing as "ube quilting" suggests.If I were adding borders to this quilt,I'd see how it would look with a narrow strip of border using the white/cream first,then either the leaf print or black print or all three with granulating size border strips out ,binding with the black.Just some thoughts to confuse you with.Ha! Another suggestion is to walk away from it for a few hours or length of time, that it looks fresh when looking at it again.It can help you with your decisions with the" should I or shouldn't I" when it comes to these types of decisions.Fresh approach.It helps me.In any case, I have loved this from your very start of it,and it is so lovely already.

I think it looks like a much more complicated quilt without the sashing. I like that. Of course, the sashing would look great and would give you more size if that's a consideration.

I prefer it without the sashing. You've got a lovely pattern going there. Don't break it up with sashing. If you need the quilt to be bigger, just add borders. IMHO.
