I am not sure what the pattern is called but I would line the same colors up diagonally(like lines of dark blue, lines of light blue etc), then from there i would make it go from light colors to dark colors haha I am not very good at explaining things haha, but either way this quilt is going to look awesome!

Love them just as they are. Sashing would interupt the wonderful motion in the simple pattern.
I loooooove it!
EDIT: The randomness of what your guys are doing is great. The mixed lights and darks allow the eye to move over the quilt in a pleasent way.
EDIT: Here is a sample of something similar and it shows how some quilts just work when they are random.

Loooooove it all over again just the way it is developing!

No to any kind of sashing ... I like the layout just the way it is. Not sure if I would mix it up scrappy like you have it, or attempt to organize the colors in some fashion. Is the recipient an organized, planner type or is she more of a free spirit??
