Working on UFO Scrappy Quilt
 

In March, I showed two squares I had done on a scrappy quilt and asked if I should use sashing or not. http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...p-t217536.html The majority of the opinions said they thought I should do it without sashing to be a true scrappy. I just put it up and said I'll work on it some day. Yesterday I got the squares out and remembered I had done a scrappy star square a few years ago and thought I should put it in the middle. I worked on it most of the afternoon and this is what I have come up with so far. Please let me know what you think about it and any suggestions you might have to make it larger. I have run out of scrappy squares. You all have been very helpful in the past and I am counting on you now. Thanks for looking.

I would lay it out and put sashing in it and step back and see what you think. I would do sashing. It is a really busy quilt and that might calm it down. But do what you like.

I also think that you should put it up on your design wall with and without sashing and see what you think
you might feel that it needs sashing to bring it all together...
hope we are helping :)

Looks like the blocks are already sewn together to me. Correct me if I'm wrong, Twinkie.

Without the sashing it looks like mirrored tiles giving it an illusional effect. I like it the way it is.

I think it's looking good and I like the play that the scrappy blocks give to the quilt. How much larger do you need it to be? A narrow inner border (black? red?) and perhaps a scrappy piano key outer border would keep to the scrappy theme.

I like it just the way it is. To make it larger I would either add more blocks then a border
or just a border depending on what size you want. I would use one of the lighter fabrics
for the border and a darker fabric for the binding.

Scrappy quilts are on my top of favorite quilts. Yours is lovely!

Keep busting your stash ! Good Job. I would put a narrow sashing of med blue then a wider one of navt blue. These colors would stop the eye to rest. Hugs

Love it just like it is! Reminds me of a Bonnie Hunter quilt. High praise in my book!!!
