can't wait to see your choice and the finished quilt!
peace

edit: I really like [b[schockedquilters[/b] idea of grouping four blocks together and narrow sash around them!

QuiltE says onpoint which i also agree with!

I too like the idea about grouping 4 blocks together then a narrow red sashing! This quilt is lovely!

I was thinking the same thing about the sashing and yes I also like the red the best.It's such a lovely block.

It all depends on what look you're after.

I'm with EasyPeasy on this one ... but I also vote for narrowing the sashing

The blue or red I think. Lovely pattern.

i know this is bad. i haven't read all 14 pages -gave up after the first several. edit - i hope no one else said this already. :oops:


i think it'll be a lot easier to use a sashing. matching all those points will be a giant pain in the butt. i, personally, like the sashing to match the background, so the design appears to float.
you can float them any distance apart you like. imo, sashings detract from a design and take it over regardless of the color.

those are beautiful blocks. i would certainly highlight them with no sashing.

I like the red but maybe not quite so wide. Beautiful blocks.
