What a great find!

I'm not quite in the no sashing crowd ................ Those pinwheels would show themselves off so much nicer with some space between them.

So, I would look for a plain fabric to match/coordinate with the background fabric already used and either sash it with that or do alternate blocks of that plain fabric.

Your quilt will get larger .... or you could have two smaller quilts!

I am also for no sashing as the look of this top as is is very clean and sweet. Sashing breaks up/separates blocks and is not always the best plan for every quilt. In this case it will change the soft sweet feeling of the blocks, in my opinion.

I agree with this opinion!

What a find! I agree, no sashing. Like the idea of 2 borders.

I vote for sewing the blocks as they are..then I would put a couple or 3 colored 3 inch borders..I would not go real dark..that would be too stark against the white..I think it would take away from the blocks to do it the other way
