In the photo my sashing isn't pieced yet, but I'll sew a coral 2" x2" square on each end of a 2" x6.5" blue ( or white, I haven't decide yet) strip. I hope that will make it look more like a blue and pink quilt, with brown accents.
What do you all think? The thing I love about Bonnie's mysteries is taking her pattern and personalizing it. Kind of like taking a cake recipe and adding chocolate
I love Bonnie's too, please don't get me wrong!
Oops! Forgot to say, I'll use the chevrons as a pieced border too!
I may not know what I'm talking about and since I have not even done clue's 4-9, it may not make sense, but I agree with you NZquilter about the sashing and I actually hoped for more brown in the pattern. Will it work to make the sashes brown and the cornerstones a different color? I would also like to use the chevrons for a border. It is fun to read all the alternatives and probably to my benefit to be in the turtle group. The last of my company leaves tomorrow, so I will soon be able to set up my sewing area again.
