My sister once made many blocks of candlewicking, but she was not a quilter. So I set the blocks together with a soft beige, tiny print as sashing and border--which was very pretty with the "unbleached" color of the blocks. I then hand quilted using the pattern of the candlewick--it was a large double circle with tulips and doves. She has passed on now, and I don't know what happened to the quilt she used as bed spread. I really liked the end product, but would never have patience to make all those knots!
