Give me your honest oponion , Please.
Do these 10 minute blocks look ok or should I stop and start something else? Should I put sashing between the blocks or just sew them together. I am using batiks. Thanks in advance for comments.

I'm no expert, but I'm liking what I'm seeing!

maryb119 11-19-2010 04:12 PM

I would add a sashing similar in color to the center squares. It's going to be a beautiful quilt.

annyroony2 11-19-2010 04:13 PM

Looking good to me.

suern3 11-19-2010 04:13 PM

These are beautiful blocks. I think sashing would really make them pop.

Yeah, what she said! :thumbup:

I love those colors. It's going to be beautiful!

BellaBoo 11-19-2010 04:20 PM

Sashing would give it a whole new pattern. It's only a matter of what you like best. Either way is super nice. If you want a bigger quilt then add sashing.

mommamac 11-19-2010 04:20 PM

don't stop - it's looking great. I would add sashing too

PegD 11-19-2010 04:20 PM

Yea, what they both said. Very pretty, but I am partial to batiks.

Looks good as is. How about trying to lay out some black bias tape and see if a "stained glass" effect is what you want.

BellaBoo 11-19-2010 04:21 PM

I just got my order of batik fat quarters from Connecting Threads. Oh my, how beautiful they are. This will be a great project for me to use them.

hobo2000 11-19-2010 04:29 PM

I think a narrow black sashing would be very pretty.

sahm4605 11-19-2010 04:30 PM

me, I wouldn't do sashing. I would also try to arange the blocks so that the squares are near like colors to make a larger square of similar color. just my two cents.

ljfox 11-19-2010 04:31 PM

very nice, I would use sashing in a light color

Lori S 11-19-2010 04:35 PM

Sashing or no sashing ...LOVE it !! keep going. Personally I would not do a sashing.

renee765 11-19-2010 05:02 PM

Those are beautiful blocks. I think I would do the sashing - to make each block a unique part of your quilt.

JT 11-19-2010 05:38 PM

I like it. I would do without the sashing, and maybe a wider (6 inch) outside black border. If you really want sashing, black would be my choice. Nice!!

ncsewer 11-19-2010 05:45 PM

I think sashing would tie it together and it would be really a good look.

Sadiemae 11-19-2010 05:50 PM

I would audition it with and w/out sashing and see which I prefer.

mim 11-19-2010 05:51 PM

they are beautiful !! i think I like the suggestion of arranging the blocks so like colors make a center of 4 blocks. Make a bunch more, lay them out on the floor and then look at them thru the wrong end of binoculars. You will see the whole as if it was at a distance. Much easier to judge how the overall effect is

Keep up what you are doing -- they are great

sewingladydi 11-19-2010 05:52 PM

I'm with maryb-sashing to match centers and it'll be beautiful

AnnaK 11-19-2010 05:53 PM

I would try looking at it with sashing (black) before going further. I think you have a beautiful quilt there regardless of what you do. I think the black sashing would make it very dramatic and I'm all for the drama.

Sweetness 11-19-2010 05:53 PM

They're beautiful and I'm not a batik person! I would definately put something between them. Personally...I'd prefer something dark (black) but that's just me.

klgreene 11-19-2010 06:15 PM

To sash or not to sash that is the question. My opinion on this pattern....if you want just the colors to stand out, sash it. But if you want the pattern created from the four corners coming together making a circle. Leave it just as it is. Put your blocks closer together to see the pattern, then you can decide. I love batik', just ordered more today, hope they come in on a day DH works. LOL

ditto

sandpat 11-19-2010 06:23 PM

I'd have to play with the colors and the layout a bit more. Its really just a question of your own preference. I think a black sashing would make those beautiful batiks really pop...but you will loose the secondary pattern. I'd have to play with that pattern before I abandoned it for sashing. Do you have some fabric that you can play with on your design wall?

My thoughts also, but I do like without sashing too. I guess the final decision will have to be yours.

Oops, hit the button too many times, Double posted, sorry.

Sashing or not it is going to be beautiful. Love it. BTW I like it without sashing.

Stitchnripper 11-19-2010 06:54 PM

Nice!

julia58 11-19-2010 06:57 PM

Whatever you decide on, it is going to be very pretty. I think if it were mine, I would do a sashing. Not sure which color, black or light. Just play and decide which you like.

littlehud 11-19-2010 07:09 PM

Those are just beautiful. You are definitely going the right way. I would put sashing on the blocks. Great job.

Becky13 11-19-2010 07:11 PM

How about putting them on point and use a narrow black sashing?

CarrieAnne 11-19-2010 07:12 PM

I think they look great!

irishrose 11-19-2010 07:16 PM

I wouldn't try to color arrange them. Yes to sashing, and if you're into color, I'd like to see a purple. Black would be my second choice.

sueisallaboutquilts 11-19-2010 07:23 PM

I agree with many about black sashing. Very pretty! Hope you keep us updated :D

lizpatterson1 11-19-2010 07:26 PM

I like it - nice warm colors.

I agree!

ScrapQuilter 11-19-2010 07:34 PM

I love your blocks very much........ The first think I thought was stained glass....... I would try making them look like stained glass windows.

Colorful Quilter 11-19-2010 09:20 PM

What are you talking about? quitting? No way, your doing a great job. LOVE the blocks and if you love bright colors you could try a black and white polka sashing , it sounds scary but you might be surprised if not then others will have ideas for you, keep up the good work!
