First I want to say the color sashing you used was perfect! The original maker is smiling that you finished her work. I think the answer on your question about the quilting is quilter's choice, it is your quilt after all. Your cornflower blue flowers were a very nice touch. The only thing I am wondering is, are you going to do any quilting on the border?

No, and now that it's all washed and shrunk up the SITD quilting that I did with the flowers is just right. I was considering doing quilting in the borders, that's why I posted. But, I do think that this is such a simple quilt any more quilting would be excessive. I'll try to post another photo of the after/shrunk version today.

Here it is all shrunk up and done. I'm not keeping it as it's a gift but it's hanging up for now in my sewing room.

It is so pretty I wonder if you will be able to part with it after enjoying it in your room. LOL!

It is beautiful !!!!!! Christmas will not come soon enough for the recipient of that one.

I wondered if you (all - I'm a confused Northerner living in the South) were more used to washing fabric before using it or not. I still can't decide!

Doesn't look as if not qashing before hurt that quilt at all.

I'm typically a prewasher, but the triangles were precut already. I made sure to use Warm and Natural batting as I wanted it to shrink up. It really depends on what end result you want. I've got some quilts that I want to be absolutely flat with no shrinkage.

Done! and a beauty of a quilt too.

Candace, the quilt is beautiful. I love the color you added.
