Basket Blocks are finished and trimmed

Today I had some rare afternoon time to myself.  My youngest son has a double ear infection and my oldest son fell asleep in the car on the way home from the pediatrician.  After getting them to bed, I actually was able to work on quilting for the first time in a week!  Since school began (I am a graduate student beginning an internship) and the kids started daycare, I have been busy, busy, busy.

Here are the blocks.  I have no idea yet what to do for sashings.  Ideas anyone?  I just don't like wide sashing unless it is pieced somehow.  Colors?  Green or cheddar or red?  Ideas aren't coming yet.

    I like super thin sashing the same color as your floor. :)

    Or you don't need any at all, when you butt up the corners of your blocks, they will make spiffy new blocks.

    Narrow Red sashing with cheddar cornerstones - a popper and a period time color to go with the baskets.

    Thin DARK sashing was my first thought. Dark, the color of the baskets?

    Very pretty, by the way.

    I agree with Leah, no sashing would be great!

    Gorgeous. No sashing could be an option. Or a narrow containment border and a piano key border like someone suggested. I think you should audition sashing colors and show us. :-) I think the color you used for the baskets might be really pretty for the sashing.
