Hi -- I'm doing this scrappy quilt and am ready to put sashing between the blocks. I can't figure out whether to just do the sashing in white or different colors of fabrics.....Usually I don't have any problem, but this has me stumped. So here's samples of both ways......

Your opinion -- PLEASE!

After suggestions -- I came back in and added this...I think I really like this one! Only i'd use the lighter yellow like the centers

I like it with just white sashing. This seems odd for me as I always use colored sashing.

First of all - those blocks are drop dead gorgeous! Love them. I think I'd go with the white - it goes better with the 9-patch. The colored sashing takes away from the blocks, IMHO!

Those are beautiful blocks! What about using the color that is the flower center as the sashing (yellow) with the nine patch cornerstones? Just one more thought to add to the bunch. Good Luck!
