Pagzz, I think the lavender sashing looks beautiful, but had you considered gray? I've made some neutral sashing, not because I don't like the coral, but because I want to see if it will let me see the alternate block better. I can't seem to see the alternate block with the coral sashing.
NZquilter, it's amazing you've been able to keep up as you have with young children! I do hope you'll be able to get back to it before too long.
Sue, your geese are wonderful.
