I have hand cut and pieced these together and then applicaed them onto white squares which I plan on shashing together for a queen size bed. What color do you think I should use for shashing?

Neat , how you did that :mrgreen:

What color are you using for borders ?

ladydi64 06-21-2010 05:32 AM

I was thinking of black to make each color patch stand out. I have about 60 patches so far with some duplicates.

I don't know but I like those!!!!!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Those look beautiful! Why not do a scrappy sashing out of all the fabrics you used in the flowers. That would tie it all together.

I like that idea of doing sashing out of the fabrics from the flowers. The black might be to stark a contrast? Just a thought. Picking sashings are always so hard when you do scrappy designs. I am sure whatever you choose will be beautiful.

Deep centre hexagon looks nice.

I sure like your blocks. If you were to use a green it might mimic the "path" in the traditional GFG. I'm seeing a med. to lightish small print of some sort. Perhaps a 30s type. What size are your blocks and hexagon's? What ever you do, it will be lovely.

Beautiful blocks!!! I think a light green in a 30's print for sashing would kind of tie it all together too -- but then the black would really make each block stand out. Why not do a little auditioning before you decide?

i really like those

They are very pretty. I like the idea of a scrappy sashing too!

I like the idea of the green. Those are beautiful blocks.

I like your blocks. I can't guess what sashing choice but will look forward to your quilt.

jennygrit 06-22-2010 08:29 AM

I think the green also.

I see a dark green for the sashing so it looks like flowers scattered in a meadow. Beautiful job on the blocks. Can't wait to see the finished quilt.

Very pretty blocks :D:D:D

Lay out the blocks and take notice of the overwhelming color impression, and choose something that goes with that. My first impression with the ones I saw was medium blue. What ever you choose it is going to be gorgeous.
