I had the same problem deciding sashing or not. Decided against it when I realized that my "wife" quite was already large enough to fit the bed. But my blocks are all different colors. I love your quilt either way.

I put all the other blocks I have received plus one I made out on my bed but Im having a terrible time deciding if they need sashing or what they need...dont want anymore "yellow" for the sashing and white wouldnt show up very well...any suggestions?

I concur - since most of the whites that I can see are all tone on tone a pure white will stand out. You could also quilt a yellow 1/8 inch line around each on the white sashing.

Ill just have to take a piece of the yellow to the fabric shop and see if I can find anything that might go with it...its the hardest part of quilting I think...picking sashings!

joan i think i answered your message it was in my visitor folder but wheni approved it , it disappeared, then was in in my inbox so not sure , but yes i will be mailing your block tomorow, so u can get it in time, thank u for letting meknow

Not sure if I posted all of these or not, but just in case, in the last couple of weeks, I've received blocks from:

cuppy
dottie dodge
Tracibug
scrapper
babyfire04

Looks like all the blocks I lack are girlscouts1, lovngrandma, and Roseysue. :)

Edit: Oh, in case anyone is looking for me after 6/21, my internet access will be limited or non-existent for a couple of weeks. DH and I are sneaking off to a little cabin by the river for a few days to celebrate our 25th anniversary. :D

You are so lucky to still have your dad! When mine was alive he would do my pressing for me too. He was like a little kid in a candy shop! He was legally blind the last 15 years of his life so it was hard for him to stay busy but he lived a good 92 years. Your photo reminds me very much of him.:o
