    first off I love the block, the colors are great. I would sash them, but I personally like sashed quilts. Can't wait to see it finished.

    I agree with CoralR!

    I love your blocks! I think either way, sashing or no sashing would look great. Have you considered snowballing all the corners? Then you could have a scrappy small block where all your big blocks meet up. Its a fun way to add color/interest without sashing.

    Those blocks are so beautiful on their own. With or without sashing would be just as nice.

    GORGEOUS stars!! My vote is no sashing. Let them 'float' on the quilt like they do in the sky
