Wow beautiful!!!!! The colors will pop. I made a bright throw quilt and it was so cheerful looking that I made another one in a differrent pattern for the back of a chair, Everyone that walks in loves them and the bright colors.. I think either way you go you will love it. Good luck

They are beautiful colors and the pattern goes so well with the colors. I would make as many as I need to finish to the appropriate size. Lot of work, but worth every stitch in the end. Youe will not be sorry. Please post when finished. :-D

The cornerstones should be dark as well - or incorporate them into the sashing strips. But they should just blend in.

So now there would be a chain of 5 turq's diamonds connecting in each direction.

That would also mask the fact of the sashing because it would be such a integral part of the pattern.
You couldn't tell the difference between the block and sashing components.

Does that make any sense?


Yes yes thats a great idea! I was going to just stick with the blocks because of the general concensus but this idea is worth looking into. Many thanks. I'll keep you updated so :thumbup:

love your colors!!!

The blocks are wonderful. Have you thought about setting them on point and using an additional fabric for the background? I think it would make the blocks pop.

I respectfully disagree about sashing. I love those 4 little squares in a row!!!!

1 vote for no center. All blocks quilt. It will be seen as a stunning unit. I do not think it will be "busy". Might even end up being your liv rm's focal point!

Love your colors. :-D

i vote for just these blocks

You could always make 2 quilts with this pattern. One with sashing and one without. :)
