I've started making my son's quilt. And I keep asking my self WHY, a 1,000 times(ha-ha) & cussing up a storm. The red part of this quilt, has Y-seams. Not just 1, but 4 for each block. I think, I've kind of mastered the y-seams now. I have a lot of the red sewed together now. Here's where I need everyone opinion. Do I want to sew the blocks together, or put the lt gray marble or dr gray marble sashing strips. I like the lt marble gray for sashing strips. And to everyone that knows about my lucky penny story. My lt weight singer machine, works like new. It only cost me $75.00 for lubrication, and some adjustments here and there[ATTACH=CONFIG]549229[/ATTACH] 2 blocks together[ATTACH=CONFIG]549230[/ATTACH]With the lt gray sashing.[ATTACH=CONFIG]549231[/ATTACH]The dk gray sashing
I like the blocks sewn together so that the arrow touches. But I also like the light gray sashing. I do not care much for the dark gray because it interrupts the flow of the light gray and the red arrows.
Beautiful blocks, by the way! Love your colors!

I love the look with the light grey sashings. I think it would be a nightmare to piece the blocks without sashings unless you have been very methodical when pressing to make sure your seams would nest properly.

Any of the combinations in your pictures would make a great looking quilt. However, you asked for opinions and mine is to make the quilt without sashings and use the sashing fabric in the borders-it you use borders. Nice blocks.
