I've made my first blocks for
Oh Fransson's Paintbox Quilt-Along. Mine won't be a true Paintbox as my print is the same in every block and I only have about 12 colours. I've made my first 24, 4 pairs of 3 colours so far. Another 75 to go...I hope to make it a twin size for my son.
Pretty bright and wild!
I'm thinking ahead a little, debating whether or not to make more blocks and leave out the sashing or not. I think it may be too busy without anything "calmer" between the blocks but maybe not.
Any thoughts on my conundrum?
they look good together but the sashing would looke very pretty

ReplyDeleteI think sashing would look good
ReplyDeleteNot that I know anything about quilting but... sashing are the strips that you would put in between the blocks right? Then yes, sashing would look great-- I think solid black could be very striking but would it be too dark?! Karen
ReplyDeleteI vote sashing! :)
ReplyDeleteYes to sashing! Solid black would be great, I think! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking sashing too but I am not sure what color would work other than black. Maybe to brighten up all the black, you could make a pillow sham with some of the bright solids that you are using.
ReplyDeleteI am still pondering this one Suzanne - I think I would use sashing but I would pick something bright. OR put roads in between - all boys love roads!! - a black sashing with coloured dotted lines down the middle!!! weeeeee!! (sorry - you asked the wrong person and I sat here thinking too long!) Have fun with it!
