I had a set of blocks like that, made by different people,only they were not all the same size. So I framed all of them with a color that matched that block. Some had two frames, as they already had one frame on when I got them. And some got a tiny frame and then a larger one. You could frame each in 1/4 inch of black or something very dark, and then another frame. After they were all framed and the same size, I put them together with a very light 2 inch sashing. When my granddaughter saw that, the first thing she said was, "Looks like a quilt show." So that is the name of that quilt. "Quilt Show" Each block is showcased. I have another one in process right now.

I would try using the very dark color that is present in your blocks and use that as sashing. These blocks and the colors are gorgeous, can't wait to see what you do!

Very pretty blocks. Like everyone else, I agree with sashing in a darkish color with a nice border. :)
|
Great Blocks; I agree on a solid sashing to set them off. Maybe alternate the colors on point if you know how. Please post a picture when you finish them. Very Nice indeed!!

There is at least one book about how to set swap blocks that is likely to have more interesting things to do with sampler blocks.

Two thoughts: each block bordered, then sashing
and using two colors, make each border with two ajoining sides of each color. Then by changing which two sides touch, you can even change the result and possibly make the transitions from each block smoother. |
I would do sashing...audition dark and light to see what you like best. I also like the look of samplers on point. See how a "blank" square of fabric looks with your blocks. Anyway just my opinion, your blocks are really nice!

I, like maviskw. would sash them in black first & then another lighter sashing around that. I think that would really make the blocks pop. They are beautiful blocks & will be a outstanding quilt.
|
I would use a light yellow/beige like the background in some of the blocks for the sashing.
|
I would set them on point with sahing in black with grey cornerstones and find a pretty, large floral fabric to alternate with these great blocks and a black border.
Love the blocks! peace |
