    I love it with the black sashing. It makes the pin wheel thing in the center of each block really pop out. It also lightens up some of the other fabrics to highlight the various colors in the block itself. That's just my vote.

    I would go without sashing, but it will look great either way.

    Love the idea of sashing but maybe a dark green to highlight the great autumn colors you have going on.
    Love the blocks and can't wait to see the finished project.

    I have to be different...I think the light color green or tan would make the blocks pop out. I personally think with a darker color sashing that all the colors blend in together...just my opinion...I love the blocks...it's a really cute pattern...

    I like it without the black sashing but would use one of the main colors for the borders to make your quilt pop.

    I agree that the black is too harsh. A sunflower or burnt orange would be very pretty.
