Thanks to each and every one of you that posted. Your thoughts and suggestions have been very useful. I now feel confident about not quilting in the sashing, but outlining each block to add definition. The circles got me thinking, and I have decided on an orange peel design in each block, which looks quite effective across the whole quilt. Well, it does drawn out in draft! I shall make a trial block first and see how it looks. I just need the rest of my fabrics to arrive. I discovered a big drawback of ordering on the internet, is your parcel can arrive with one fabric missing, listed as out of stock and no longer available. This fabric just happened to be my first choice, which I had chosen all the others around! Still, I have found what I hope is a suitable replacement and it all helps to keep the creative juices going, I quess! I will post pictures for you to see when it is finished. Thanks again. :thumbup:
