From white sashing to charcoal sashing
 

Back in February I posted the results of a mystery quilt day, sponsored by the past presidents of our quilt guild in Guelph. Its always a fun day, but I came away unhappy with my quilt. I always use stash materials for these, but this time the results did nothing for me; Too Blah!

So I recently finished taking all the blocks apart and reassembling them in Charcoal rather than white. But as this "lap" quilt was too small for me, I decided to sash everything a second time. Now it's more exciting. And I can see some pretty dramatic quilting happening here. I posted the original as well as the new version.
I'll add an additional border 6 inches all around while I wait for the wide back material I ordered to arrive. I'll repost when the quilt is finished.

Love it! Very dramatic effect with the charcoal!

I love both. Dark and light, day and night. Beautiful quilts

Beautiful! I like it so much better with the charcoal! Good thinking!

looks great in charcoal... what a lot of work

wow. that looks so different than it did before. I like it with the Charcoal

Amazing difference, but a lot of ripping. That is beautiful.

Very pretty.

What a difference! The colors really pop. I can't wait to see it with the quilting.

I love them both but am amazed at how different they are!
