This is the other project I was working on Tuesday when my friends came over. I add the sashing strips to the left and cornerstone and sashing strip to top of every block and then go to the design wall.
After I have made a decision of the order of the blocks I will know which ones need a right side strip and which ones need a bottom strip. Only one block ends up with strips all around, the bottom right.
Now I have the right and bottom strips sewn on and I'm ready to assemble the quilt top (except I ran out of energy).
I hung a piece of fabric to the right and then cropped it into a border width with my camera software. This white and black print has some green in it too.
I meant to post this photo yesterday with the red/white/blue hair. Just 2 more of my trolls. I only bought ones that were strange. I figured they would be the only ones that might be worth more at a later date.
Gorgeous quilt! I love that the single print used for sashing completely unifies the different prints used as backgrounds -- wonderful to see that technique; gives me courage to mix up my scraps a bit more. Thanks for showing your process!
This a very pretty quilt. Black and whites, especially stripes always make the bright colors sparkle! I like the border you've auditioned too. You really saved everything. I remember having trolls but we've moved so often everything was pared . Now we've been here for26 years and things are multiplying in the closets!
Your stars are so bright and beautiful and what a good idea to do the sashing as part of the block. When I saw your border fabric I thought of fireworks but this time the stars outshine them.
Love that quilt. The stars are beautifully color coordinated and love the black & red combo and of course the border you are trying out. All looks great together! I used to have a troll with black hair...I wonder what happened to it? It's probably in with all my barbie dolls from long ago. Have a great weekend! Hope you find time to do some more quilting!
The border looks great with the blocks. Isn't it amazing what we collect. I collect chickens. Chris

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the process on how you handle sashings before you know the final layout!
ReplyDeleteSeeing stars is gorgeous. Love the border you have shown. I had a collection of trolls once upon a time too. Love yours!

Love the stars. My husband and I were watching a marathon of old musicals on TCM so I only got a quilt cut out during breaks. Love the stars.
ReplyDeleteThis is another great idea for a veteran's or QOV quilt. I really love it.

ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying watching these star blocks and quilt top come together.
ReplyDeleteI like your troll collection :D
This quilt is becoming another of my very favorites . . . I hope the trolls stay out where you can see them, they're awesome!
ReplyDeleteSome people would say ALL trolls are strange! Perhaps that strangeness is why I think they are so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI have a pair of troll earrings I wear sometimes
Love your stars.
