This is beautiful! And it sure does show off the fabric squares. I assume I know how it's done....or anyway, the way I would do it. Is the shadow created by strips sewn to small blocks of the sashing fabric?

I would suggest checking out a quilt pattern by Maple Island Quilts called BQ. It uses 6-1/2" squares. Look it up on line under BQ Quilt. I made one from my Kona Bay Asian Fabrics and it was beautiful. If you decide on that pattern and need any help PM me and I'll do what I can to help.

I really like that shadow box idea and that reminded me of the attic window which would also highlight each fabric. I really am partial to the shadow box. Just wonderful!

peace

I love the shadow quilt but for a change you could do it on point.

I really like Tashan's quilt. I have the same situation, tons of squares, each one a different print, that I actually put borders around in different polka dot prints but then what to do with all of them?? Each color of polka dots has 24 squares. I think if I put a black border around them like Tashan did, I will have a beautiful, quirky, quilt.

If you do add black borders, I would either use a solid bright around the square first, thicker, then the black, thinner, or I would use a black that is not solid- some tonal or pattern in it so the blocks integrate with the quilt.
