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 think, I've kind of mastered the y-seams now. I have a lot of the red sewed together now. Here's where I need everyone opinion. Do I want to sew the blocks together, or put the lt gray marble or dr gray marble sashing strips. I like the lt marble gray for sashing strips. And to everyone that knows about my lucky penny story. My lt weight singer machine, works like new. It only cost me $75.00 for lubrication, and some adjustments here and there[ATTACH=CONFIG]549229[/ATTACH] 2 blocks together[ATTACH=CONFIG]549230[/ATTACH]With the lt gray sashing.[ATTACH=CONFIG]549231[/ATTACH]The dk gray sashing

Second picture with the light grey, the dark grey is to dark.

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!
