I like it either with or without. If I did not sash, I would put the green next to the blocks to frame it and then the pink border.

I can see your problem. They look good both ways. Glad you checked with your daughter. I'd love to do this pattern too.

Can I just say I love this board! You are all so so helpful and point out so many great ideas for us less experienced quilters! I did go with no sashing and small green border followed by slightly larger pink border (shows peach in photos). I love it! My daughter liked it best that way so I like it too! I am off to get backing fabric this morning and hopefully get it quilted this weekend. I am not sure about how to quilt ... I think for the blocks I am just going to shadow the roses. For the small borders - undecided. I may just stitch in the ditch once the blocks are done or do small flowers - don't know. Ideas? Thanks again for all of your help!!!!!!

I prefer no sashes, and am happy with either green. I had forgotten how much I like these roses. sweet quilt!

I was going to say another vote for sashing, only thinner... And I love the green, the lighter one for border. But I'm a lil late...lol
Can't wait to see pic of it finished! It's already super cute.

I know you already wrote what you are going to do, but in a quilt like this where every flower is a bit different, I like a sashing to help showcase the individuals.

But it will be beautiful no matter what. The colors and fabrics are very nice. Make you you post when you are finished so we can see!

glad you went with no sashing - I think sashing is often a very traditional look, and without gives a more contemporary flair. The challenge becomes quilting all the white space.
