Patti, You are right about the black being a smaller part of the quilt, it likely will look like an outline. My audition shows a lot more of the black than will show once sewn in, after all its only half an inch finished for the sashing, right? I don't have enough black for the blank tris, so my tris will be mixed fabrics, same fabrics in my blocks, however I can use the black for the scallops. I don't want to buy any more of this fabric, plus it has become hard to find! I have a lot left, just not enough black. In fact I am thinking about using what is left for a random patchwork backing! Would that just be awful??? lol
