    I agree with using black as sashing. It will enhance the colours in the blocks and highlight them. :)

    Blue makes the blocks pop much more than the yellow, I find the yellow seems to wash out the blocks a bit. So I would say the blue! or, as someone mentioned, for a scrappier look, no sashing.

    I love your fabrics. I think I have to agree with the black idea, though that wasn't one of the choices you gave! I'm just wondering how people who ask for advice decide, because we never all agree!
    Guess it helps you decide what you really want? Whatever you choose, your quilt is going to be beautiful.

    I really like the way the blue makes things standout. But it would be really pretty with the yellow or without sashing. Don't think you could go wrong. It will be a pretty quilt however you finish it. :lol:

    I too like sashing for this quilt top but I think I would prefer black to pop all the colors. Anxious to see if you post a finished product.

    I agree. It's like raising a child. Listen to all but ignore what is not your style. This quilt cannot help but be beautiful with the blocks you have already made.

    I would use black or even consider white for sashing.
