    Those were some of my thoughts about sashing, too. I think white could be nice if your main colors read "crisp". But if they run more "country", a golden beige might be nice. This is just a wonderful topper & it looks great on your table! Is this the pattern she makes from a layer cake?

    Looks wonderful, for the Christmas one, gold sounds good, or a white or cream background with a scattered holly print

    Very pretty. A beautiful gold glittered beige or white would go lovely with red/green.

    If you go to www.quiltinaday.com and click on free videos it'll bring up different series. Summer porch is under "quilts through the seasons". It's an easy quilt with a lot of possibilities.

    Thanks. In her video she used fat quarters which I think may have been from a collection.

    Thanks to all. I will go with beige as my greens and reds are mostly more muted/country.
