    The good thing about adding sashing is you would not have the seams to matches up on the star points

    Your blocks are beautiful. I might suggest that a black sashing with corner stones of some of your fabrics that are in your blocks would be nice. I am sure whatever you decide it is going to be lovely.

    It will look good both ways but I think I prefer sashing on it. Maybe a black sash

    You're getting an interesting 3-d block effect as a secondary pattern that probably would be lost if you use sashing. That said, you really could go either way, just depends on what kind of effect you want to get.

    Whatever you decide, that will be very pretty.

    I really love your blocks. I'm with everyone else, with or without sashing this will be a beautiful quilt.

    Personally, I would add sashing and a border. To me sashing just makes a statement on its own.

    I love the 8 pt star no matter whate pattern you are using, and I use the star often... but I usually put sashing or a more
    simple block in between. It all depends on how large you want it... but you are doing a great job.
