I started this over the weekend. I'm thinking of adding a narrow white sashing around each block. What do you think?
Sorry the pictures are kind of blurry.

I think white would be pretty. I'm also jealous that you just started it over the weekend and have so much to show for it!

Look at you go girl. I think the white sashing would look great. Keep us posted with pictures. :) :)

I could definitely see a 1" sashing in white, then a larger 3-4" white border all around.

I thinks a white sashing would complement it nicely!

I see a gorgeous scrappy D9P!

A very pretty cheerful colors :wink: lovely

I vote for the white sashing also. Nice job so far! I am sure it is going to be an awesome quilt.

I totally agree.

woo hoo, white it is :D

White would look nice. I can also see a D9P there! :lol:

I agree, I think the white will look great!

Thanks for helping me decide. It will have 1" sashings between the blocks and a 3" white border. Now I think I'll choose one of the fabrics to make the binding....but which one? I like them all. :roll:

I would use a scrappy binding if you like them all! :lol: Especially fetching when it is a bias binding! :lol:

I can't help thinking how wonderful these would be set on point with your white or even black. The white will make it look like the center is hollow.

Very pretty blocks. Nice and cheery.

Such "happy colours" white will look stunning....I am always awed about how much can be achieved by some in such a short space of time!

I love your scrappy looking blocks and the white sashing with a wider white border would look absolutely stunning.

I know I'll probably be in the minority here but because of all the colors I could also see a red sashing to pull out all the red in the squares. JMHO. I love color. Either way, it will be a beautiful quilt. Love all the different fabrics.

Red would be funky but white would give a more traditional look and I'm a trad girl! :D And I love Shemjo's idea of a scrappy binding. Can't wait to see this done, probably by next weekend the rate you're going! :D

Love the idea of the white .And love your blocks. Did you ever think of perie points instead of binding.

white would be nice - love the colors, patterns in the material!!

White will set it off nicely I think!

White would pull it all together!!
I agree on a scrappy binding.

I agree on a scrappy binding.

You got alot done...good job!!

very nice

Me too :D

Me 3 :)

For this quilt, I might go with prairie points made from each of the scrappy fabrics. But a scrappy binding would look nice, too.

Your squares are really cute!! I like the idea of the white sashing, but I would probably go with a wider one- like 2 inches, or even the same size as one of the squares in the nine-patch. (I like a lot of white.) Whichever way you do it, it will be cute because your fabric is so pretty.

Your squares made me think of this quilt:

It's kind of the same, but uses "reverse" blocks, too.

I found one that looks like I was trying to explain- with the sashing the same size as the squares in the 9-patch.

Yes, I love it. :)
My squares are 2 1/2"

Oooh a D9 patch that would be pretty too.

I love that Lisa! And I really like the border of squares - that would look really cool if you had enough fabric MsGrace. :D

cool. i'm playing with 9 patches too

I kinda like the look of the orange underneath. It unifies the blocks. Perhaps the orange with a little of the white.

Edit: OOPS, forgot to say how much I love your blocks. I envy you for being able to do a scrappy. :mrgreen: The blocks ar :thumbup: e great.

It's great...all "of you" on this site make such beautiful quilts----it's SO intimidating!

I love your quilt. Thanks for sharing.

White would look great! Keep us posted with pictures.

White is definitely the way to go. Love that scrappy quilt!!!
