I, like fivepaws, like it without any sashing as it makes a secondary block. No matter what you decide, it is going to be beautiful.

I like the blocks sewn together so that the arrow touches. But I also like the light gray sashing. I do not care much for the dark gray because it interrupts the flow of the light gray and the red arrows. Beautiful blocks, by the way! Love your colors! |
I like the light grey sashing. Your piecing is so well done!

I love the look with the light grey sashings. I think it would be a nightmare to piece the blocks without sashings unless you have been very methodical when pressing to make sure your seams would nest properly.

Great block! I definitely prefer the light grey. It will be a lovely quilt.
|
Any of the combinations in your pictures would make a great looking quilt. However, you asked for opinions and mine is to make the quilt without sashings and use the sashing fabric in the borders-it you use borders. Nice blocks.

i like the light sashing best
|
I like the gray sashing. It is a beautiful pattern.
|
I like it with the light gray sashing.

I don't care for the first picture. The dark grey squares will form a large grey square with seams in. I like the sashing in the darker grey. The pattern of the square will still be visible after the sashing is on. And those Y seams can be done away with by putting one more seam in that half square on each corner. Good luck.

I know that you will come up with the right decision. Love your colors.
|
I agree with Bree123, if you need the sash for more length/width then the dk grey looks much better, the lt grey washes it out. otherwise, I'd do without. :)
|
The light gray flows, the dark gray breaks it up, depends on what look you are after, whichever will be beautiful!
|
I like the darker sashing. It will be beautiful any way you do it.
|
I favor the dark grey strips. Just my opinion. :o
|
I like the light gray with dark gray cornerstones idea, too. It's going to be a beautiful quilt when it's finished. I think your son is going to love it !
|
Don, I really like the light grey sashing but would add dark grey cornerstones to finish off the Irish chain design. It's going to be fabulous!

I like it with the blocks sewn together -- makes a neat pattern where they meet up. If you are going to do sashing because you need the extra width/length, I'd definitely go with the darker grey to provide more contrast. With the medium grey, it just looks too washed out & some of the pattern gets lost.
|
Don, I like that you never back away from a challenge! I like the sashing. I would use a wall to check out more of the quilt to see how you like the final version.
|
I like the dark sashing. Nice job btw.
|
Those blocks look great. The Y seams are worth the trouble. I like all 3 versions of your layout, so I'm no help. Just think on it a while.
