The picture only shows the blocks. The striped material goes on as a border and then a wider black border. I think I will do the sides and then the border. Thanks for the opinions.

Generally, if a quilt is going to hang, I want the top & bottom to be 1 solid strip to support the quilt.
With your quilt, I think a corner square would look great, especially if you use 1 of the prints. I would add the sides first, piece the top & bottom with a square, & add them to the quilt, matching the seam. It follows suit that you have squares in the sashing as well. Great job, the sashing really accents the quilt beautifully. |

I like your quilt!

For some reason, adding side borders first, then doing top and bottom
gives a more "finished" look. |
I think its great, I am a beginner so I really dont know the answer to your question, but if you have any of your material left or could tell me where you purchased it I would appreciate it
|
I always do the sides first, then the top and bottom.
|
I sew top and bottom first then the sides. No mitered corners!
|
if you're asking! I would continue to do top and bottom first to maintain the look of the block. i would also put corner stones in the small striped border.that way the stripes don't touch in different directions.......Hope this helps....Racheal
