    I will search for the directions for the red oriental quilt and can post here or email if you prefer.

    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.
