I guess you are almost finished with the blocks. What a stunning quilt this is going to make. I do like your choice of border fabric. I'm not very good with suggestions.

The sashing fabric is lovely but to make sure it is exactly what you want why don't you pick out several and lay the blocks on them? You might be surprised to see that a blue matching the boarder fabric might really make the blocks pop.

Lay some fabric down and put a few blocks on it with about two inches showing in between each block so you can see if you like it. I've got to get busy and catch up on my blocks. I'm not sure how I'm going to sash mine yet. There are alot of suggestions on her site for layouts and I'm still deciding.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13858230629342252482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661578365413235347.post-81526434532774504042011-11-28T19:54:39.646-05:002011-11-28T19:54:39.646-05:00I've enjoyed watching you go through the proce...I've enjoyed watching you go through the process of this beautiful quilt.
