Table Runner Test

I've been working on a new table runner this week and today I am trying out different layouts for the blocks.  I cut into some beautiful Amy Butler Soul Blossoms fabrics and added a couple other things and here is what I came up with.

Without sashing.

With sashing.

Another view.

So what do you think?  Sashing or no?  I am leaning towards the sashing (big surprise there - I LOVE white backgrounds/sashing!)  I just think it makes it all work.  It gives your eye a place to rest amongst all the color and pattern.

The Christmas table runner is almost finished, but this project has been a nice change from the Christmas theme.  I was needing a little break from the red and green!
