    I like red best, then white is a close second

    I vote for white shashing and bind it with red.

    I agree with Prism99. The sashing is too wide right now, but a narrow version in red would be awesome.

    Beautiful blocks!! I vote for red, with white running a far away second. IMHO neither the blue or black do anything for those fabulous blocks.

    I agree, either the red or the white.

    IMHO, I would vote for no sashing between the blocks. Use a narrow strip of red around the whole thing before you put a border on.

    Red, a little narrower than what you show. Beautiful fabrics and block. What interplay do you get if there's no sashing between the blocks?
