Width of Sashing
#71
In this case, there just isn't a wrong way to do it. It's just a matter of personal preference. You can make it the size you want either by borders or sashing. If the room it's going to live in is not brightly lit, I would go for white or off-white. If the room is already sufficiently bright, I might opt for a dark color for borders (or sashing). Have fun!

Check out AndoverFrabics.com for their Tic Tac Flannel quilt. The blocks are the same as yours and they set it together with about one inch strips of black and did the border in what looks like two inch squares of the different colors used in the quilt. A very beautiful quilt. Esther

I like the blocks butt together as is - but if you're really committed to sashing it try the tiniest 1/2" - 3/4" medium-dark neutral, grey or taupe sashing to keep the blocks blending with each other rather than have them look separated, those colours just sing!!

I agree, a light/white would really make the colours glow. Narrow, though, not a big sashing.
