I finished 5 more blocks at the end of the day. I started the day with cutting more batting, piecing more backings and other misc. things. I'm on the last side of the hand stitched binding that I'm working on.
Here are all 8 finished blocks. I haven't made any of the pieced sashing strips yet. Although I like it without sashing too, there are too many colors and it would look splotchy. The sashing will actually soften it.
Love the blocks! I think I'd reconsider the sashing-- I just realized they're like piano keys. Do you remember how long it takes to make a border of piano keys? Yikes! Well, it will be worth it.
These are pretty blocks, I notice your centers are different for each block and your colors are bolder than his... or maybe it's because of the sashing. I look forward to seeing the finished quilt which, at the fantastic speed you work, will probably be Monday!! :o)
You have been busy on the yucky day. I also have been at the sewing machine adding the sashing to my crazy pieced quilt as you go squares. It was a good day to sew. I love your squares for this quilt. I can't wait to see the finished project.
You made a lot of progress. The colors really are working well together.Can't wait to see the finished quilt. Chris

I'm just loving how this one is going. Love the contrast & colors, but yeah, sashing will soften it up nicely. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThey look fabulous without the sashing so I can imagine what the sashing will do to it.
ReplyDeleteThey're beautiful -- so vibrant! I can't wait to see them with the sashing.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous! I love them!
