This quilt is beautiful! I love the thin green border around the blocks. And I think I have the same green flip flops. ; )
A question about adding sashing fabric to each block- my sashing fabric is white (white on white). The seams are hidden in this quilt's red sashing, but I'm worried that the seams would show up more with my white fabric, and would look weird... :?:
Hi Kristin,
Yes, I think the seam in a white fabric might show up more than this red fabric. I think sashing it this way and having it look good might depend on how "busy" your white fabric is, and how you end up deciding to quilt it. If you quilt it heavily, it probably would be fairly unnoticeable. You could always make a sample to test it out.
