This is my daughters very first ever made quilt. It is bright she is not happy with how it has turned out. She thinks it might get tamed down if she puts a black sashing around each pinwheel block. What is your advice to her? She is 16 and is very open to your opinion since my opinion is not valid he he teenagers!!!

I love it just how it is. (But I love bright, happy quilts!)
I think a black border will make the colors stand out even more but it would break it up a bit.
Try black sashing on a few of them and she can see how she likes it.
Much more advanced than the first quilt I made about that same age!

So I told her the same thing :) She is accepting your advice and leaving it alone!!! I am really proud of her for making this it was her first attempt to quilt with out a pattern she just made it up as she went.

You are so right!!!!!
Perhaps she should ask her peers :lol: Certainly they know best :lol: :lol: :lol: Gee do they know how to thread a needle? I think the quilt looks great the way it is. So my bet is "she will sash it in black" :lol: :lol: :lol:
