Everyone has different ideas. I would like the narrow black sashing. I am getting ready to do these colors in a quilt. Now you have inspired me to get busy. Love the colors.

I agree with Jeanne S. Sash with narrow black fabric.

By all means, sash. Use black, narrow to frame those lovely blocks. froggyintexas

If you like the dark blocks, if you have the fabric, as opposed to using a charm pack:
think about this, add one more black and one more of the same color as the upper right. Use these 4 (2 black, 2 black prints) as cornerstones in opposite corners to each other. Add 3 more of the dark print 2nd from right on the bottom. Use these four as next in, diagonally from the other 4 cornerstones. This adds 5 blocks, so your layout will be 7x5 instead of 6x5. As for sashing, I like dunster's suggestion of light with yellow cornerstones. If you have trouble visualizing different sashes, lay the sash fabric on a bed, or your design wall, and arrange the blocks on top of the sash fabric. Auditioning the fabric, you can literally see the effect. Oh, and last, but not least, your blocks are quite pretty, and your work putting them together is excellent! Lovely colors. |
Love your squares and colors but, to me, the gray ones look like blank spots.

Your blocks are lovely. I really like your colors -- the gray, black, yellow and white look great together. Personally, I don't like the solid blocks. I'd remove those and use sashing between the pieced blocks, probably yellow. Then maybe a narrow black border and one of the prints as a wide outer border--maybe that pretty yellow flowers on gray print (second row, second whole block from left). But it's your quilt and you will know what you like when you audition some sashing strips and borders, I think.
It's going to be beautiful when finished! |
I'd take out the solid black block and go with the borders as suggested. The prints go together so well.

thanks for all the great suggestions! Will get busy incorporating your ideas and post the result. I too fell in love with the fabric colors when I found this packaged collections in the clearance bin at a local Walmart! The design was inspired from a Reproduction pattern I won as a door prize at one of my favorite LQS in Stafford, Texas. I'll post the details with pics later.. Thanks again
