I need help deciding.....
 
1 Attachment(s)
I fell in love with this fabric. But, I just couldn't decide what to do with it. I finally decided to make 4 patch posies. Now, I just need to decide if I should put a block inbetween each one or if I should use a tiny sashing or maybe both. I have some coordinating fabric made with the white flowers that are in this print that I want to use. Any suggestions? Also, do you think it is too wild for a quilt? Or should I make placemats or something small with them? Someday, I'm actually going to show some of my finished WIP's. hehehehe!

those are lovely. personally, i'd use a sashing, but not the white fabric. i'd use black or the dark green. try laying them out on top of another color leaving the sashing width you'd like to see what looks best.

I agree with QuiltnNan and use a green or black thin sashing.

Love the blocks, I would use a green or soft gold as sashing between them to set off the blocks.

Wonderful cutting, sashing needs to be something to bring them out. One thought as I look at the layout, I think I would put a block that has more white inbetween the blocks that don't. Just a thought, but then this may not be your final layout. Try several different solid colors for sashing. The white flowers may look too busy. Yes, maybe we'll see the finish product. Good luck.

I agree with the others re sashing. Maybe your coordinating fabric could be all or part of the border.

Gorgeous blocks. I love bright colors so I don't think it is too bright for a quilt. I agree with others here about sashing.

I agree with the others regarding the sashing and arranging the white flowers between the others flowers. Also if you have enough enough of the white flower material you might use it for the backing.

I agree with this assessment.

Love your blocks and I think I would sash them with dark green. It will look like flowers blooming in amongst greenery.
