I too struggled with sashing color. Opted for white!

Glorious finish, Debluvsquilting. I really like your color choices/changes from the design, including gold stars. The white really ties the design together, and again shows what a difference that one piece/decision can make.

Thanks so much for sharing.

Beautiful finish, DebLusQuilting! Red, yellow and blue together is such a classic and always appealing.

Debluvsquilting - I think your quilt is beautiful!!! You did a great job in your color choices and finishing! I am still plugging along with getting the center put together, and have not started on sewing the border 4 patches or squares together! This has taken much longer for me than previous mysteries for some reason, and I am only doing half of the quilt pieces! I guess my age is catching up with me! LOL

Debluvsquilting -- fabulous! And very striking with the white/ light sashing.

Thanks ladies. Bonnie's mystery really inspired us all to get creative.

I thought my goals for yesterday were pretty reasonable but I didn't quite get where I wanted to go. The golds for the sashing are cut. Some of the 10 blocks were completed, all have at least the 3 strips done, some are pressed, some are not...

I started making all sorts of mistakes. Cutting mistakes, pinning mistakes, mistakes that just came out of thin air. I decided it was time put down the sharp implements, step away from the machine and wait until today. Nice thing is everything is just as I left it and it makes some sense.

So today, I finish the blocks and start putting the pointy ends on the gold sashing. I might get on a roll or it might take me a day or two for the points. I have maybe 8 sets of neutrals cut, will need 20 something total.

It is raining buckets -- but that means the snow is gone

I decided to take a break from sewing the blocks together and addition some sashing choices. I think I will settle on this one.

That's a lovely sashing choice, Carol in WI. Has something replaced the infamous sashing unit?

I have finished sewing together my clue 2 strips and they are all cut into segments. Now just to sew and press (hoping they will be accurate enough not to need trimming).

Thank you Joe's mom ~ I am another one who struggled with the units in the sashing and felt it was too busy for me. However I'm not sure of the plain piece in place of it is just right either. I wanted to emphasize the secondary pattern and like the star in that block.

I've loved seeing everyone's color choices and personal touches and continue to search through the pictures to get inspiration. I am amazed at everyone's unique style and creativity and trust that eventually I will come to a final choice for the sashings.

In the meantime I will go back to sewing blocks together. I have only 9 done, but all the pieces are made and bagged into sets with a goal of sewing at least 2 daily. Thank you ladies for all the inspiration and wisdom that is shared on this site...I've learned so much from Bonnie and from all of you. And thank you again Iceblossom for all the time you have put into monitoring and encouraging us long the way.
