    I'm making a new quilt for my new house and wondering if you all think my stashing is going to be to busy for this quilt. If i need to rip no problem I'm an EXPERT at having to rip out seams :)
    Thank you all
    God Bless

    My own personal opinion is I like the idea of putting sashing there, but that fabric is a bit busy with the other prints you have. Perhaps a nice light colored solid? Like a pale green or something I think would look nice. Just my opinion of course!! :)

    I agree. an apple green solid or something similar would be my opinion. You can't be any more expert at ripping out seams than me. We all take our turn I think.

    I'm thinking a narrower sashing in a lighter but same "tone" as the pink in the block would look great. With corner blocks of a lighter (but same tone) of green. A solid or mottled fabric.

    Or visa versa - green sashing with pink corner blocks.

    Your blocks are beautiful. IMO a medium green tone-on-tone sashing would offset the light fabrics.
