Sylvia's Bridal Sampler - Loyal Union Sampler - help please ?
 

Hi - is anyone making a Sylvia's Bridal Sampler or Loyal Union Sampler, both by Jennifer Chiaverini ?

I am making both quilts and I am NEARLY there !!!!

My question is - what width sashing has anyone used ?

With grateful thanks,
Dot in England, UK.

How large are you blocks?? The sashing appears to be very narrow, maybe 1/4" or 1/2" wide if the blocks are small like Dear Jane.

Thank you for replying. The blocks are 6 inch - Dear Jane was 4 1/2 inches. At least I won't have the triangles to add - as in my DJ.
I thought to cut 1 inch for a 1/2 " finish.
Thanks again.

My blocks are 6", sashing is 1 1/4" finished. Sorry I can't get picture to load. I set my blocks on point. You can try looking under Pictures, "I Envy Sylvia".

Oops! Picture did load.

This is my Sylvia's bridal sampler, my sashing is 1 1/2" cut, so 1" finished.

Melissa, gorgeous quilt!

I'm still working on blocks, but I plan on doing 1" finished sashing. Will use a white or a light print-not sure yet. Backgrounds are lights and whites in my blocks. :)

Thanks so much for your kind replies. WOW Melissa - your quilt is stunning and love your log cabins around the edge.

I have decided and will cut 1 1/2 " strips and finish at 1".
Thanks again.

Sorry -gramajo - love your on point setting - very nice !!

WOW, what photos!! 1 inch sounds good to me!

gramajo,
I LOVE your quilt. I'm always drawn to the white/ivory backgrounds. Your other colors just look lovely!

Melissa,
Yours is very pretty too! It's amazing how different a quilt looks with different background colors. I'm currently making a quilt with charcoal background and sashing, I can't wait to see how it turns out.

My LQS did this as a BOW. We received 2 blocks and fabric each week. Colors choices were pastels or darker/brighter fabrics. Usually I lean toward brighter colors but I'm glad I did this in pastels. We did not make all the blocks in the book so it is smaller. I like my quilts to be different from others so put 4 blocks together, sashed them and set on point.
Thank you, Dottie D and kiffie.

Absolutely stunning. I like how you put 4 blocks together in the first quilt and then sashed them.

gramajo, I absolutely love your pastel, mostly, blocks and your quilt is a joy to behold.

Melissa, that is one monumental quilt you have constructed, and a real beauty too. How long did it take for you to complete all of those blocks?

did you make the sides not match on purpose like the AMISH do so its not perfect? (log cabin blocks) It is beautiful in black.cmaras1234

Beautiful quilts-love them both-the black is absolutely awesome.
