The whole issue of sashing involves the overlook of the quilt. For something soft and melty, no sashing. But I love the drama that sashing gives this quilt. Also, I think the sashing makes the weaving effect very obvious, and that's an effect I like. I've taken the advice of my Left-Handed Blogging friend and split of the pairs of batiks. I also listened to my sister-in-law who suggested grouping my blocks according to Roy G. Biv. One reason I love batiks is that it's hard to nail down their specific color, and that's the one thing that makes this kind of sorting difficult. Luckily the black batik I want to use for the sashing is still en route, so I have some time to work on the layout and play with the colors!

It's going to be beautiful!
I'm glad you went with the sashing layout. It was my favorite, and really makes those pretty batiks pop : )
Hurray for the black sash! I didn't get a chance to comment when you were trying to decide, but I knew you'd make the *correct* choice! ;-)
