I agree. I don't think this one needs sashing. Welcome to the board!

Welcome from Northern CA. Thanks for the post I just watched the video and really like the idea of a column quilt. Like I need another idea for a quilt. On your quilt I think that a small sashing would be nice. Like what you have done. I know that what you come up with will be even better. Be sure to show us when you are finished. BrendaK

I like #1 the best except that I would move the dark brown to where the white is to balance it out. Move the white to where the tan stripes are and move the tan to where the dark brown was. I think it would look more balanced. I also like the idea of adding another green row at the bottom if you have enough.
