That's kind of what I'm thinking. I like Bonnie's sashing idea, but to me it looks better in a darker tone. I was studying all the quilts I've seen since the reveal and I noticed I really like the ones with darker fabrics in the sashing... Sewbiz's, Podunk Princess', ect. Their secondary pattern shows so well because of it. And I thought in past mysteries Bonnie has always used a constant to help hold the pattern together. I thought I would do it too
The fabric was actually a lone valance I found at Goodwill for under a dollar. So not quite scrappy, but not quite yardage either!
