Working on UFO Scrappy Quilt
In March, I showed two squares I had done on a scrappy quilt and asked if I should use sashing or not. http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...p-t217536.html The majority of the opinions said they thought I should do it without sashing to be a true scrappy. I just put it up and said I'll work on it some day. Yesterday I got the squares out and remembered I had done a scrappy star square a few years ago and thought I should put it in the middle. I worked on it most of the afternoon and this is what I have come up with so far. Please let me know what you think about it and any suggestions you might have to make it larger. I have run out of scrappy squares. You all have been very helpful in the past and I am counting on you now. Thanks for looking.

I think it's looking good and I like the play that the scrappy blocks give to the quilt. How much larger do you need it to be? A narrow inner border (black? red?) and perhaps a scrappy piano key outer border would keep to the scrappy theme.

I like it just the way it is. To make it larger I would either add more blocks then a border
or just a border depending on what size you want. I would use one of the lighter fabrics
for the border and a darker fabric for the binding.
