Don't fret MiraB about the brown ... it'll blend in better, if you include a little here and there in the coming blocks. And remember Laurie's comment about the muddy blocks having a role to play. It'll be your muddy!

Mirabelle...I like the navy too. I think sewing the sashing on as you go I'd a great idea. It changes the entire look of the quilt and you can better plan for the final outcome. That said, I don't have any idea what my sashing will be. I'm using a rusty batik for my FW and a black with my Civil War and I don't want to duplicate those. I'll have t think about it.

(Sigh from Iowa), Mirabelle, so pretty! I could even see using a red like the one in Colt's corral. What you need to do is cut out a couple of 1 inch squares of each fabric that you like and insert them in among your blocks and see which one you like best.

Actually, I was thinking of that too ... just didn't want to admit it.
Wonder? if there's a small nothing print in the red .... the one you spotted has a print, but further apart, so some squares would be plain red, and some with the print. (BTW check your email, OKSGlad!)
