    I love it just the way it is. It absolutely is not too bright or busy. If I added black sashings, I would make them the same width as in the circles.

    If you want sashing, black would be great. I would not do borders because it is such a modern looking quilt it doesn't need a border. Bind in black as well.

    I think it is fine just like it is. If you need it to be larger, then black sashing would set off the blocks. I really like your colors and the circle settings being off center. Very nice.

    I agree totally! But....just in case, could you post a picture with black between the blocks so we could see the effect?

    I would get some black fabric out and experiment with black sashing. I think if you would sash in black with the blocks on-point (black triangles as needed in the border), this would give it a very dashing, modern look!

    I vote for the black sashing but know it will look terrific either way.

    Default part two of opinions please.

    I knew all of you, kind, creative folks would help me. I might only use black sashing vertically. And I like the idea of no borders....I probably should make it a little bigger. Thanks so much for your help. And whoever gave me that hug........thanks, I needed that.

    You're doing a great job, personally I rarely use a border.

    I would also do a NARROW black sashing (no cornerstones) to frame the blocks. Cute quilt! Circular echo quilting around the circles would look great too.
