I want to experiment with how 6 of these blocks look with sashing between them.

There are dark, medium and light areas in the blocks. What if I match the sashing to the dark?
The sashing separates the blocks but that's about all. It doesn't add to the design. In fact I think the design would look better without it.

This time the sashing modifies the design. I have a new design and I like it.

Again I have a new design that I like.

This time the dark sashing takes part in modifying the design and I like it.

Once again a new design that I like.
I get 5 different quilt top designs that I like using the same blocks but slightly different sashing each time. I don't know about you, but I think that's exciting!
For more sashing ideas go to My Post by Subject in the sidebar on the right and click on Sashing.
Just goes to prove that you should not stop trying to improve a design when you get something you like .... the more often you keep going the more often you find more designs which are as good, and sometimes better, than the first one you liked.

ReplyDeleteMy experience is that first ideas are very often old ideas. Finding new ideas takes some digging. And the best ideas are new ones.
These are very intriguing... are you going to make them into a quilt?

ReplyDeleteNot all of them will be quilts. Besides they need borders first.
