Here is a pic of my crumb blocks with just a border around them. It's 42 blocks..6 across and 7 down. I didn't think it would look right without sashings but I like it with just a border. Maybe you could audition some solid color fabrics as borders with your blocks just to see how you like it. Perhaps it won't work but it's worth a try. Good luck and let us know how it works out. Have a great day. To Ranger: Wow, your quilt is georgous! Thanks for showing.I will post a pic. once I finish mine. Don't know when. Haha! I'm not a prolific sewer, you see. . |
Have you tried it with a yellow or green for sashing ---a 16 patch with sashing?
|
I would go left field for the sashing. Not white, it washes it out. I would get a color that is not in my blocks and let it be a background color.
|
Both way look good, however, I like the unsashed layout better. You lose the movement in the sashed version and it looks very controlled.
I'd call it - "Don't fence me in" |
I love all the bright colors, and I really like it without the sashing. That is just my opinion, and believe me I don't have enough experience to give advice. To sash, or not to sash, that is a big question everytime I start a quilt.
|
I like the sashing better, but IMHO, I would choose something other than white or neutral. It seems kind of bland. I would chaange the sashing to a bright primary color, or even black. Again, just my opinion.
|
ooo...I like it with the white sashing!
|
I like them both, but I agree with you. It just looks not quite right with the sashing. Is it the color? or I like what irishrose said about making it 16 patch block..that just may be your answer
|
I like it with sashing....very cheerful and fresh looking!
|
I'm not a long time quilter but if I sashed it I would like it with a colorful sashing maybe red or blue.Ilike it without the extra work of sashing too.
