I know I'm far from having an expert opinion like many here, but I think it all depends on the "look" you want. I think the white sashing makes it look like a summer beach cottage quilt - nice and light and pretty. The only thing I'd consider is maybe adding one of the colors to an outside border.

I like it without sashing, everything goes together well. Nice work!

I would put a bight colored border on it. One of the colors in the quilt. I think it will look fine. The next time try mixing different size prints. I find that helps some times.

I like it best without sashing!

Food for thought... I think I would choose to tryout compromising the opinons you've received here and consider grouping the colored blocks into groups of 24 patches between choosen color of solid sashing. Also it might help you to think about how you are going to top-quilt it before you decide on the patchwork layout. I think top quilting shows better on solids and might nicely frame your favored grouping of patterned patches and perhaps rid your "it's not right" feeling. Hmm, varigated top-stitching thread on the white sashing might go well with the Hawain themed fabric.

I agree. the white sashing gives it a fresh modern look.

IMHO, the sashing doesn't improve it. I think, however, that it would be improved with a bit of dark, maybe dark blue or dark green,

I think I like it best unsashed. Just my opinion though.
