Sashing Question .

This is my first post so hope all goes well.
Do you think this sashing is to wide? It is 3 inches
and the block is nine and a half.

i think it looks alright- it would not look good if it were 4", since 4 is (awkward) with 9", but 3" works well with 9" :) i love your blocks!

I like it. One third the block size is a common sashing size. I'm working on a quilt right now with those exact dimensions. The pink is a great color.

I like how it looks!! Love the fabric you are using.

It looks perfectly balanced to me. Very pretty.

I think it just depends on the look you're going for. I generally prefer sashing that isn't so wide, but I think yours looks pretty, especially with the cornerstones.

the sashing looks just fine... nicely done

The size is fine. Your sashing gridwork, because of the color impact, tends to overpower the blocks a bit. For that reason only, I would probably go with a narrower sashing. Remember, however, in every quilt, the rule is, "your quilt, your way". You have done a fine job of coordinating the sashing/cornerstone fabrics with your very precise, well made blocks.

Looks good to me, love the colors. Your quilt will be beatuiful when you are finished.

I agree that because of the color it is a bit too wide.

I think you have it just right. looks great.

Looks great and happy!

This is very cute! Will it have a border? I think that would kind of balance things out for you. Good job!

this pink is very dominate---quilting on the sashing sould break it up and reduce that effect--love the blocks
