Sashing
I always think black inriches a quilt and the green would look good too

Hi sweetie!!!!!!!! I like the idea of sashing. I would choose one of her favorite colors and go with that one. You could also leave them w/o sashing but I think the sashing would make the posies pop Just my thoughts.......HUGS, Sue

I see purple sashing, with pink corner blocks
Pretty Blocks, great work

I agree, black or green would look nice.

Can't wait to see it when you decide. I like the squares and think sashing would look good around each block. I don't do so well choosing colors. Sorry.

I think black would set them off so nice. Make those beautiful colors pop.

My friends here all tease me 1. because I quilt and sew and 2.because I LOVE to use black in my projects.

I would definitely put a sashing between them, otherwise they will become a bit "lost". Audition a few darks or even brights and see how it will change the look, you will know when you've hit the right combination. I'm like geckogirl, I am a big fan of black.

I am huge on black, but I wonder if this is the right place for it. You may find the green gives you a more delicate look. Spread out your sashing fabrics and lay the blocks on top, that way you can audition the sashing without cutting first.

I saw one of these quilts all done up where the bouquets were all pointing in towards each other, the flower part kind of make a big circle around the points, very pretty and an unusual setting, (at least to me).

mmmm... I like that idea,,,saves my fabric from being cut up if I choose not to use that color..,,, and I like the points in the center!!!! thanks!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Since her favorite colors are purple and pink I would consider a deep purple to off set them. Then maybe bind it in a thin binding of pink.

I agree with the other post of putting them on top of a variety of colors and see which one looks best.

You are doing an awesome job. By hand ---- Great work!

I think green would look great, but I think Pams idea is a really good one, like you said, you wont have to cut the fabric!

I'd go with a neutral color that would make the blocks pop. Black or white would be my choice.

thank you!!!
