Placement question

Placement question
Here I am again asking for opinions on block placement for this comfort quilt. Also suggestions for color of sashing. This is a quilt I am making for a mother who just lost one of her sons. I have never met her but was friends with her son. Therefore, I don't know of color preferences, etc. Thanks for your input.

Great blocks and I like them without sashing! When I squint and look at the picture, I see a pattern with the darker blocks. I might try doing them light/dark/light/dark for a checkerboard effect and see how I like it.

In contrast ....
For my liking, they are just too spinny, dizzying and overwhelming with them the way they are.
Plus, that effect would be worse, once they are stitched together.
I would audition a sashing, using the same white background fabric and no cornerstones.
Or even alternating plain blocks ... you could have enough for a 2nd quilt by doing that!
How kind of you to make this for your friend's Mom.

Nice set of blocks, but just too much, all together, IMHO ... and obviously yours too!

I think it would look great with an "invisible" sashing of the same fabric as the background. That would separate the whirlygigs a bit without putting each in a box.
Prayers of comfort for that mom who lost her son. I can't even imagine losing one of mine...
