MamaHen, do you mean like a green rather than the red shaded 1 1/2" sashing? I am interested in your opinion but know also that I just had cataract surgery x 2 and ripping out something probably won't work until I can get new glasses. I mean like I can see to sew, but to try and rip is about impossible I have discovered. Just can't get it in the right place to keep from cutting material, etc. I will audition the green square as I had thought about that and maybe getting too much red. I do have some of the cream with the stars left, but not sure how much. So if I am understanding correctly, put the cream sashing before the ribbon border? Or do you think another fabric would look better in ribbon block? So many decisions and I know not to sew together because when I think it is right, then I will "feel" it and I am not feeling it yet! Thanks, ladies, for your opinions.
