Need Help--No sashing or sashing???
4 Attachment(s)
I am finishing up the squares for an Anita's Arrowhead quilt. I used western bandanas and leopard print. Now the question is, do I use sashing or not.
This first picture is 4 blocks using the pattern of the bandanas and no sashing. [ATTACH=CONFIG]420130[/ATTACH] The next one is some gold sashing, trying to blend with the leopard print and I see that I didn't set the blocks right, but am concerned about the sashing. [ATTACH=CONFIG]420131[/ATTACH] And next I tried a light red [ATTACH=CONFIG]420132[/ATTACH] And then I tried a darker red [ATTACH=CONFIG]420133[/ATTACH] So, thanks for looking and any advice you can give me. The blocks square up at 9 inches & I will have 6 across for 54 inches and 8 down for 72 inches. |
I like the secondary pattern you get with NO sashing. You might want to play around a bit to see what you get with different arrangements.
Interesting choices of fabrics - I like them together. For sashing, I liked the yellow/gold better than the orange and rust fabrics. |
I really like the secondary pattern that shows up without sashing!! Be sure and post a picture of the quilt when it is completed!!!!
|
I like the No sashing, but second choice is with the gold. maybe try a black
|
I am in total agreement with bearisgray. I prefer the no sashing, but, the yellow/gold if you do sash it. Love the quilt.
|
I noticed if you put them directly together that a few of the intersections will be off a bit. Would that bother you? If not the blocks do make an interesting secondary pattern. For sashing, I like the gold the best but would like it better a shade darker? I would also like to see the blocks with black sashing?
|
I really like it with no sashing. The sashing seems to interfere with the design.
|
If you do sashing, I like the second or I would do black.
|
No sashing.
|
I generally like sashing, but in this case I'd vote for NO sashing. Looks great anyway you choose.
|
No sashing here too. If you decide to go with it, use the gold one.
|
I would try to find gold the same color as in the print for the sashing or the black.

No sashing......
|
Normally I love sashing, but this one is so pretty without it. So I also vote no sashing. Love the pattern & fabric you used.
|
No sashing or the gold. Beautiful quilt.
|
I vote no sashing. Now this is a suggestion I have, and take it for what it is worth since no one else mentioned it. You might just try the dark blue bandana for a border. Maybe a thin yellow piece in between. I think it will frame the great pattern the prints make on their own. But, what do I know????
|
I vote no sashing but I believe it will be beautiful regardless of what you choose.
|
i like the yellow sashing
|
If you can be sure your points will match (and there will be LOTS of them), then go with no sashing - for all the reasons stated above. If you need sashing I would like to see a black fabric used.
|
I also am amazed I like it better without sashing......usually I vote to put it in!
|
if the animal prints where they would meet together, dont' fit together well, I'd say sashing for sure. either way they are cute.
|
Like it without sashing.
|
I like no sashing. It gives a great deal of movement and drama
|
i think i would like to see it with black ...jingle may be onto something ,,,,,love the fabric and the block
|
I just finished one and did not use sashing. My albums are open to all, so you can take a look. I prefer without sashing. This fabric selection is fabulous.. Love it...
|
I like the pattern flow without the sashing.
|
I, too, like it better without sashing. If you just play & switch your blocks you can match up your seams better as tartan was talking about. For instance, switch the top right & the bottom left & then turn them & that will match up much better. I love how you done these blocks. Will make a stunning quilt when completed.
|
imho I like the gold but no sashing is beeautiful also!
|
No sashng!!!! Nice. have bandanas but never thought of doing that!!
|
#1 choice no sashing # 2 gold. I'm not in favor of either of the last two colors. Black may work but you have a cool pattern going on, either way can't wait to see it done. You are much more adventurous with the two fabrics you put together than I am. It is so great to see yours so now I know it's possible for that sort of combo to work.
|
The first arrangement looks great without sashing. I personally like the third arrangement with the gold sashing. Black sashing would be my second choice. The sashing will make the quilt a little larger.
|
I think the one without sashing is the best. I love the interesting design created by the layout.
|
I would go with no sashing, but use a white flange , then a black border and a final outer border of the leopard print.
|
No shashing
|
I'm usually a washing kind of guy but in this case I like it without. If you do the dark red.
|
kinda like no sashing but with a border
|
No sashing - it is very pretty without.
|
I vote no sashing as well. I much prefer the secondary pattern emerging without disruption.
|
My vote is "No" sashing. It looks amazing the way it is. In my opinion some blocks look better with sashing. This is NOT one of them. You get a secondary effect when there's no sashing and I LOVE it!
