There's a pattern called "Film strip" where you take say 2.5 squares and add a white or off white between each of the colored squares.....making sashing adding a white strip on each outside edge. I tend to use this when I need to add width and/or length to my quilt. Uses up the leftover scraps from the main quilt.

Pretty quilt. To save time and perhaps a little sanity, I would cut 2.5 " strips, maybe 12-16" long, sew together into one piece, then sub-cut into 2.5" strips, and by turning every other strip around, you can achieve the random look which I think you are going for.

Just be sure that the fabrics are all different in each set, or at least that the sets don't begin or end with any of the same fabrics or you could end up with 2 the same next to each other.
