Thanks everyone for helping me decide that I really wasn't just being lazy in not wanting to add sashing!! I am one million percent happy with the outcome, and agree that the white bordering the blocks is enough to break up the blocks and give the eyes a bit of a rest. In looking at it now, I almost think adding the sashing would have diluted the colors too much.

This top measures 60 inches x 75 inches, and will make an excellent picnic blanket just in time for spring!

It was such a pretty yet windy day out side, that I was able to take some pretty fun and crazy "blowing in the air pictures." These ones almost remind me of stained glass.

    Beautiful quilt! Looks good without the sashing.
    There are so many rainbow quilts around blogland lately, I think I am going to have to add one to my want-to-make list.

    Love this quilt! In fact, I was wondering if you would mind if I use it as inspiration for a quilt for a charity quilting bee I'm in called do.good.stitches

    I also like your blog - I'm glad that you linked up to {sew} modern monday so I could discover it!
