Here's my first 15. I redid the Basket Block from earlier posting--it looked too pale.

(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.

I got the Sylvia's wedding sampler quilt book today and one of the quilts has framed each block with a very narrow band of black and then had sashing the same color as the background in the blocks. It was stunning. At the trunk show the other day, Nancy called those coping stips. It gives you a chance to get the block the right size and square...if there's been a problem. She said that the slight variation of the width of the coping stip is never noticed. It's particularly helpful when you do block exchanges and the exactness of the blocks vary. She used dark green in her's. QuiltE...that would work great with your yellow.

hhhmmmmm!!!! You're giving me something to think about!Although I hesitate, as the quilt is busy enough with all the different blocks, different fabrics, and different looks ... would it not be too much?I kind of like the idea, though!Must watch for some pics of that technique.How wide were the coping strips? sashing? and blocks?Did they still use cornerstones? or omit them?It'd be a good way to make a smaller quilt, larger ... not that this is an issue with the PC!

(Because of this class I can miter corners like a pro, & could long before I could ever match seams or do any piecing!)

Ya'll see what I learned taday? Multiple quotes. I'm proud of myself.:cool: |
DublB ... By chance, do you have any pics to show me! Are these narrow borders, the same as the flanges that some use? If you have any or can point me in the direction, I'd be interested to see them. Thanks!
