Need opinions please...

I am making a lap quilt for my grandma for Christmas. I just finished the 4 blocks and now I'm unsure what to do... I will be adding 2 borders, which will make it about 58" square. My question is, should I add sashing and cornerstones, or just leave it as it is? Thank you in advance everyone!

I think sashing would really show off the blocks. I love the color combination.

Hmmm - I love it the way it is. Great colors! But sashing would work nicely also. Not much help, am I?

I think sashing a corner stones would really work with this. Why dont you just lay it out with, take a picture, without take a picture and look at them periodically.

Agree with Marti ... lay it out over the fabric you plan on using for the sashing and see how you like it.

I would sash it with a print fabric with both the yellow and blue in it. This is one of my favorite color combinations, and I love the simplicity of your star blocks.

Whatever way you go you will end up with a lovely quilt.

Either way would be pretty. I am sure your grandmother will love it!

I vote with sashing too, I'd try a blue, yellow print as angiecub said or do a solid blue with yellow cornerstones.

Vote for sashing and cornerstones for me. However you decide to do this I am sure that she will love it. You did a good job of the blocks. BrendaK
