    I put sashing between the blocks and have all my rows finished for this baby quilt. Should I still put sashing between the rows? The sashing material will also be used for a 2" boarder all the way around and will be mixed w/ some leftover strips for binding.

    Leave it as is and sew it up? Or add the sashing between the rows?

    i rather like the wide stripes formed the way it is now.

    but it will definitely be lovely no matter which choice you make. :P

    I like it the way it is now. I like that it flows together but the limited sashing gives your eyes a break. But then again, it flows together and is very busy. I equate it to Strawberry Shortcake puking everywhere! LOL I'm afraid that adding the extra sashing will stop the flow and make it too boxy. I'm really on the fence about what to do.

    You've chosen very pretty sets of colors and patterns. I've seen this pattern done only one way and never thought of seperating rows. I like it. My quilt group at Moose Lodge chose to make our shut-ins lap quilts of this pattern. Lots of fun and learning every stitch of it. Enjoy your pretty quilt.

    I love the colors and pattern you've chosen. I'd put sashing between the rows. Just my 2 cents worth. Be sure to show us the finished quilt.

    Either way you go with the sashing will be nice. That is so pretty the way you worked your pinks that I couldn" stop looking at it. It is really pretty. Great job you're doing.

    I like the way it looks now. But whichever way you decide, it's going to be so cute!
