It's your quilt...do what you want with it,but I would put it in " time out" and let it " ripen" a while. I thinks it's a lovely quilt
|
I think I would add sashing around the blocks in black. I would sew small 4 patch blocks in black and red together to create a strip for the border and bind it using the red.
|
I love it... it's going to be a great quilt. No sashing OR ants! It will really come alive when you quilt the white spaces. Maybe some feathers would be outstanding.
|
I love the simplicity of the pattern--could be because I'm working on a church dash. Agree with DH==don't add ants! Are you going to add a border or just go straight to binding? I would carry the simplicity theme through to just adding a border IMHO.
|
i vote on sashing betweeen the blocks, but it certainly is lovely the way it is
|
I think it is going to be very pretty when you are done, please let us see it finished. And I vote no ants!
|
Love your quilt!
When I first saw it, I thought a small black print would be a good sashing. Also, prairie points might look neat to finish it off. |
I seriously love your blocks. It is going to be a great quilt. Maybe a picnic quit? Ants are a great idea!
|
What about sashing out of the background fabric, just to distance each block from one another a bit, without distracting from the blocks.

I hadn't planned on using sashing as it seemed to distract my eyes from the block too much. IMHO

I agree with Omacookie, I would sash in a 2in (finished at 1.5in) or 1.5in (finished at 1in) solid black. This would create a frame around each block, even with the offset it would look nice. Then I would frame out the whole center in a solid black border same size as the sashing, then a wider border in a plain black/white gingham. I would bind in a solid black with a small solid red flange or piping. I would then quilt it using leaves and meanders with loops and twirls in the green that matches the green in the cherries.
:) That is how I would finish the quilt. |
