Sashing or No Sashing?????

[mrsg730]

I finished the blocks for a monochromatic quilt I made from some brown and gold fabric I had but have yet to put it together because I can't decide whether to put sashing or not. I asked my friends for their opinion and they came back 50/50 so here I am, hoping you could help break the 50/50 tie. One of the ones that voted for sashing suggested a thinner sashing as an option could you tell me what you think about that too!

Please help, I am dying to get it quilted. I made it for a very dear friend and I am anxious to give it to her.
