    I think the sashing adds alot to the quilt. Just my simple opinion.

    The colors are great and I like the top picture a lot.

    Love the colors!

    I agree with Jan about the secondary pattern (is that what makes it a D4P?) because it causes the eye to search.

    However, after looking back several times at your pictures, the sashing makes such a clean-cut look and that is pleasing to my eyes. I think either way it will a very pretty quilt.

    I am a dissenter also. I wouldn't use the sashing in this one. But if you like it, then go for it. This quilt is beautiful
    as it is. I love the colors and the design.

    I think that your sashing makes the blocks 'pop'. I wouldn't change.
