I think I like it better with no sashing. That would be ny #1 pick. #2 pick would be the gold sashing.

I cast my vote for no sashing. I like that scrappy look.

I like the yellow. I see you have varying opinions. Let us know which you select. Great quilt anyway you finish it.

Now actually, the first one which you say has no sashing, has white between the pieces and I love it! The white sashing is thin and gives the blocks a light airy look. I think the yellow and the blue weigh it down. (Just what you wanted....ANOTHER opinion!!!!!)

I like the blue sashing best. I think it is more pleasing to the eye and I think the yellow just blends in. Nice quilt.

Sorry but I don't like either of the sashes. Did you try a red or rush whatever the blocks have. Sometimes the colors don't photograph what they really are. I love the blocks.
Nice work.
