My thought is to stripe the sashing - the camel color with a narrow stripe of black in the middle. I want it to cover a queen size bed. I will add a narrow border and a wider border to the outside - using two of the fabric in the blocks.
Have you ever worked on a quilt that you just felt you did not want to finish ...but did anyway? I am finishing the quilt, but without joy. Help!!
I am working on a quilt for my daughter that I just absolutely love....however, I am consistently finding other projects to put ahead of it...I don't know how mine will turn out, but I am confident I will eventually finish it. Cause I have my daughter who will insist!!! Mine is 52 blocks, 26 (1/2) are hand-quilted roses, the other 26 are machine quilted butterflies. The roses are holding me up! I've decided after every project, to quilt 2 more roses! One rose takes me about 4 hours -- so, I'm slow, right? Anyway, I wanted to tell you to be sure to finish yours! Everything I see about it looks perfect -- the colors are great.
