Beautiful. Would love to see it when it's complete. As others have mentioned, a black sashing will make all of the colors really pop. My grandmother made 10 of these quilts all out of my grandfather's ties (one for each of her 2 daughters and 8 GDs -- she had no grandsons!). She used a black satin sashing, and I think she must have used the heaviest weight batting possible as these quilts weigh a ton!
