I like the sashing - maybe add cornerstones of the blue or green or one of the other colors that you have in the roses?

I agree with QuiltnNan that it looks better without the sashing strips, and the light green narrow border would look nice, I think.

Definately with the sashing to break up the white background fabric.

I like it without the sashing. Nice soft baby look. Use the green of the leaves in the borders, the other looks like it has too much blue in it. Just my humble opinion.

I like sashing but maybe a little narrower, the width you have cut seems to take over the whole quilt. As far as the
border I always like the darkest color on the edge, wither it be border or binding. CUTE quilt !! !

Narrow peach sashing will look great on your blocks - nice soft look!

I have made this quilt and made it exactly with the pattern directions. My favorite one I made for a baby quilt is French Rosebuds. Same as large one but baby size. If you search for French Rose and French Rosebuds you will see many versions. Many on Pinterest
