Wow, what a great response, I am now looking at my quilt blocks in a new light, I knew I could rely on some good advise from you all here, may I ask what is 'lattice', is it not the same as sashing then?
I am inspired to make more, just as I was thinking I would use the solids between, now I am thinking I shall try them on point and do away with the solids all together, I shall keep shuffling them about over the next few days while I make more until I am satisfied. If I was to tie it would I do that in the corners of the joins, I am thinking with black thread at this stage.
Many thanks
Gal
