This is my first time doing quilt as you go blocks. So far I have taken each block and made a quilt sandwich (block, batting, and backing). Next I have stitched in the ditch of each quilt sandwich to stabilize the layers. I will have to add more quilting to some blocks to insure the quilting distance requirement is met as stated on my batting. This has been a fun process so far. I am deciding on what fabric to use to sash the blocks to unify them. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks for taking a look!

Cute blocks!

I think I'd use a black and white stripe. This is looking great.

all nicely done

Your blocks look wonderful. When I first started FMQ I found that doing QAYO is a nice way to get my feet wet.

Looking good...very colorful! Black usually sets off most colors.

Congrats on learning a new technique. Your blocks are fun and cheerful. Another vote to try black sashing or perhaps the pretty green would work too. Audition a strip of fabric and see which ones play nice with the blocks.

Nice job. Black would really make these stand out. I would love to see a close up of the quilting.

I think white sashing then a thin white and then wider red border

Because you have so many nice, bright colors in the blocks I would go with a black sashing. That would make all those blocks really pop. It's going to be so pretty when it's finished. Glad you are enjoying the QAYG method. I'm going to try that someday. TFS
