Sashing

Card Trick

Sashing can change not only a quilt but a block.I've played with sashing occasionally and been amazed by the difference it can make.

Sashing

Balkan Puzzle

I'll start with a Balkan Puzzle block and I'll color it using purples.

What if I repeat the Balkan Puzzle block leaving room for sashing?

Sashing

Wonky Shoo Fly Quilt

I used this wonky Shoo Fly block to create this pattern.

I find it interesting, but I wonder what it would look like with sashing between the blocks.

Sashing

Log Cabin

I want to add sashing to this Log Cabin block.

Sashing

Contrary Wife

I was playing with the colors in a Contrary Wife block 31 July 2010 to see how it affected the pattern when I created this design.

Today I want to add sashing and see what affect that has.

Amish Star #4

Sashing

Amish Star

This is one of the ways I came up with for coloring and Amish Star. (See my 7 August 2010 post.)

When I combine 4 of them rotated I get this new block.

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

Sashing

Ohio Star

This Ohio Star quilt is colorful but I think it needs something more.

What if I try adding some sashing?

Sashing

King's Crown

When I repeat a King's Crown block I get a pattern that is pleasant but not very exciting.

What if I put sashing between the blocks?

Sashing

Road to Oklahoma

I've only ever made one quilt that had sashing. Maybe if I play with sashing and explore some of its possibilities, I might decide to make another. I'm going to try adding sashing to some of yesterdays Road to Oklahoma quilt designs and see what happens.
