Here is a pic of my crumb blocks with just a border around them. It's 42 blocks..6 across and 7 down. I didn't think it would look right without sashings but I like it with just a border.
Maybe you could audition some solid color fabrics as borders with your blocks just to see how you like it. Perhaps it won't work but it's worth a try.
Good luck and let us know how it works out.
Have a great day.

I love all the bright colors, and I really like it without the sashing. That is just my opinion, and believe me I don't have enough experience to give advice. To sash, or not to sash, that is a big question everytime I start a quilt.

I like the sashing better, but IMHO, I would choose something other than white or neutral. It seems kind of bland. I would chaange the sashing to a bright primary color, or even black. Again, just my opinion.
