    like the way the blocks work together with out sashing. The movement would be stopped if you add it. If you do decide to do sashing i would not use white but one of the colors in the quilt. Love the look of this.
    peace

    I love bold, bright, happy colors. I would place my blocks on different colored fabrics, walk away and look at them from a distance to see how they look with each color that you try. This usually helps me decide if I want sashing and which of the colors I like best. Make sure we see this when you finish it....

    I would sash them with yellow or a yellow print with small primary colored dots.

    I agree with feline Fanatic -- I would sash with something other than white. Black or navy would make them pop.

    One option might be to add a narrow border, then do a second border of piano keys using the fabrics in the quilt!

    Like the sashing. Maybe different color though. Love these fabrics. As has been said, please post pics. We always like pics.
