only 4 blocks but need opinions
Hello all! I wasn't sure where to post this but figured since there was some talk about "sashing" on this thread it would be an ok place to ask. I have 4 blocks done and am thinking about sashing/cornerstones as I will be going to a couple quilt shops Monday that may sell KT fabrics I don't have locally. Here is what I am thinking red for sashing and light green/teal for the cornerstones. What do you think?

BTW, I should have mentioned Monday a couple friends and I are driving to a guild meeting a little over an hour away to meet/hear Laurie Aaron Hird and see her complete FW and FWPC quilts. We are very excited!

This is just the place for those blocks, Carrie! They look wonderful. IMHO the red is good, but maybe one which reads more solid. That way the sashing will frame each block to stand on their own. Do you follow what I mean?
DH and I are headed that way tomorrow, but to look at a piece of farm machinery. Too bad it isn't Monday! Have a great time.
April once your book arrives you're going to be spending all day making fabric choices. Isn't that fun?

Yes, I was thinking more solid red too...I just happened to have that FQ out and thought "oh I kind of like that color with all the blocks". I will be looking for something with less print Monday in that shade. I am planning to make 2 twin quilts with my blocks for a bed in our living room (trading them out now and then), so the other sashing I am thinking is something more orange/rust, like the fabric used in A Boy's Playmate.

CarrieM .... Looks like your migraine has your brain thinking real clear now! I too think the colour is great, and agree on the read more solid choice .... what I call a nothing print! Take your blocks along with you and any of your other fabrics you want to use, to audition with fabrics you see. Picking your sashing early will let you coordinate your fabrics to the sashing ... and avoid some that just may not have as much positive effect!
Great job on the blocks ... and with them quilted already! Way to Gooooo!!
