Help with sashing, please
[ATTACH=CONFIG]422836[/ATTACH]DC is about to assemble the top and is stumped on what color and width to do the sashing. We tried Natural-muslin type color and a darker tealish-blue but not right. Anybody have a good idea for us?
Enjoy your day!

Thanks, Sharon, It is a calendar quilt so the blocks are "pre-arranged". We could try the 9-patch style with softer colors.

If you use soft colors and make it so the colors on the 9 patches are opposite of the sashing, it looks like they're woven together. I thought a nice pale gingham in maybe green with a pale teeny floral might look good without overpowering the angels.

it would be a lot of work but...
i would try a two-color sashing between each block. for instance Jan/Feb... maroon on the left and green on the right. feb/march... maroon on the left, light green on the right, etc. perhaps a sq in a sq for the cornerstones.
