    I would do the sashing, highlights the beauty of the blocks without letting them run together. It's going to be fabulous when you're done! Remember to post a picture when finished.

    Sashing allows the blocks to individually highlighted. Otherwise, I think it's very busy.

    Without the sashing it's a fun optical illusion.

    Your choice. Each one has it's good points.

    And yes, this quilt is worth your effort. I'd hope it makes you smile each time you look at it... cause it was created from inspiration!
    I agree. It depends on whether you want the blocks to stand alone or busier without the sashing. Both are lovely.

    Beautiful scrappies!

    I guess I'm the odd one out - I like the ones without sashing.

    The slashing looks good. The other example is pretty nice because everything lines up. It is soothing to my sense of order!!!

    I would go with the sashing...it would give a bit of a break from the "busyness" of the scrappy blocks.
