I agree.

What about solid black and then the roses for the border? My half cent idea! Looks great with any of these.

Hi,
I like the black flower print and the red. Your blocks are very pretty.

SewCraftyGirl 04-01-2011 04:39 AM

I like the black flowered one the best. I think the stripes would be very hard to keep straight for sashing (I know it would be impossible for me!). Good luck deciding!

Thats what I am thinking too. First impression was the 1st one. Went back to look again and I still like the 1st one.

I like the black and white stripe for sashing and might use the black with roses as an outside border.

sinceresissy 04-01-2011 04:54 AM

:D Ditto, Love the block. You did really well. What about the small black/gray squares? What ever you use I know that it will look really, really good.

PaperPrincess 04-01-2011 05:02 AM

I vote for the stripe, or the red. I think the print is too busy to also be used in the sashing, but that's just me. With all the fabrics that pretty, anything you choose will be great!

Teapots and Quilts 04-01-2011 05:18 AM

I like the black stripe for the sashing, but maybe consider a red cornerstone at the corner of each block. Then maybe a thin red inner border with the black floral as the second border. Be sure to post a picture when you've made your decision! It's going to be wonderful no matter which way you go.

pyoung 04-01-2011 05:21 AM

I like the stripe one. That is going to be a real pretty quilt.

This was my exact thought when I saw the choices---------I love the way you've combined the patterned materials within your blocks---------why exclude any of them? Please post your finished quilt--------whichever way you decide to go will turn out positively gorgeous! You've got a great eye for combining color and pattern together to create some real "eye candy". Beautiful blocks!!!!

I would really prefer a solid narrow black sashing then a narrow red border and the wider outer border in the floral. The black stripe would make a nice binding if you cut it on the bias! Do we get to see it again to see what you decide to do? Think it will be very pretty whatever you decide.

dpparris 04-01-2011 06:30 AM

black and white stripe.

ShirlinAZ 04-01-2011 06:32 AM

I like the print for sashing. Use the stripe "Piano key" style for border with red binding.

Scrap Happy 04-01-2011 06:35 AM

All of them look great! My favorite is the red and close 2nd the black floral one.

quilter2theend 04-01-2011 06:49 AM

I like the print as it makes the colors in the squares pop.

stacey65 04-01-2011 06:51 AM

i like the roses sashing the best

Clueless Quilter 04-01-2011 07:06 AM

My thoughts exactly!

Clueless Quilter 04-01-2011 07:09 AM

I'll try this again!

I like the stripes.

Mariposa 04-01-2011 07:10 AM

I vote for the b & w stripe for sashing, then use the red as a thin border, and the floral as a wide border~

mummadee 04-01-2011 07:33 AM

I agree with mawmaw, the stripe for the sashing and the print for the borders. Perhaps the orange for the binding?

dixiebelle162002 04-01-2011 07:37 AM

Stripe for the sashing and foral print for the border. It looks like you have a beautiful quilt so far. :thumbup:

Juliebelle 04-01-2011 07:43 AM

Black and white stripe

Tartan 04-01-2011 07:56 AM

I would choose the black floral or coral for sashing and save the black stripe for binding. If you cut the black stripe on the bias, you would get a real cool effect. I try to stay away from stripes or checks on sashing because it really bugs me when they don't match perfectly.

dhanke 04-01-2011 07:57 AM

I agree, striped sashing, print border

IBQUILTIN 04-01-2011 08:04 AM

I like the print, it would be very hard to get the stripe to be perfectly straight and the red is kind of overpowering. Whatever you decide will be great

nanababy 04-01-2011 08:06 AM

I am particularly drawn to the stripe, I always think they add class to a project....

leiladylei54 04-01-2011 08:09 AM

I like the black and white stripes.

Ziva 04-01-2011 08:10 AM

Black and white is my vote.

donnajean 04-01-2011 08:12 AM

I like the floral print for sashing. Then a small orange border followed by more of the floral print outer border.

pollym44 04-01-2011 08:43 AM

STRIPE!

grammy6 04-01-2011 08:44 AM

I'd like the stripes if the stripes were horizontal like the stars instead of vertical. Then a small red border and the flowers for the last border. But thats just a suggestion of what I would do. Good luck it'll be sweet! :P :-P

bjchad 04-01-2011 09:36 AM

Not the plain red for sashing. Either if the others would be fine although I think I like the stripes best.

wildyard 04-01-2011 09:49 AM

If I used the stripe for sashing, I would cut it crosswise not lengthwise. I would use the floral for a wide border and the red for a narrow inside border and then for binding.

franie 04-01-2011 10:00 AM

Not the red one--either of the other two--gonna be very pretty when complete.
