in your opinion...


Sashing or no sashing??  I finished up the purple blocks this afternoon, and you ladies were 100% right, more color all the way!  Now I'm asking your expert opinions once again...I had been planning on doing sashing between the blocks all along, but seeing them like this, I kind of like the mass of color explosion...I'm torn, what say you wise quilty friends??

(Just as an aside, I guess it doesn't really matter, but in my mind this should be flipped so that it is longer than wider...this was the only way this  behemoth would fit on my extended design wall!  Just tilt your head to the left when looking, hehe)

    I vote no sashing - the white frames around the scrappy square provides somewhere for the eye to rest, in my opinion.

    Still loving this quilt!!

    I agree with no sashing.
    There is enough white around the squares for contrast/interest.
    I LOVE IT!

    As everyone else said....no sashing! There's all the solid color around each block to give the eyes a place to rest. It looks great!

    I vote sashing (white) to echo the white already round the blocks!

    I love this with no sashing, but I think it would look beautiful with either :)

    I'm going to say no sashing too, because like someone said, I think the white in the blocks is enough
