I like them without the sashing, too. It's a wonderful swirl and movement of color without the sashing, but with it, it halts the movement and keeps the blocks from " playing together". LOVE your blocks!

I agree!!!!!!!!

I agree. I think the black sashing would really allow the colors to stand out. It would be striking!!

Very pretty, white sashings will show the off better and a border would give it a more finished look. Just my opinion.

I love, love brights but would enjoy this quilt more if it were sashed maybe in black to highlight the beauty of the fabric.

I would sash but not in white. It is too stark. Try one of the greens, blues, or yellows. I am anxious to see this quilt when completed. Please share later.
