I think January turned out good when it comes to finishes.
Not that I have very high finish numbers, but I managed to finish more than I started – which is ever so good in my book :-)
I did 4 more purple blocks this morning, so with 9 of 24 blocks done you get a feeling of how this quilt will look.
I am thinking about what colour to use for the sashing. First I thought about black, but now I lean to beige. I don’t have enough purple to do sashing, but I have enough to make corner stones though.
Maybe dark blue is an option too…..
What do you think ? Your opinion is very welcome :-)
On my February focus list, in addition to the 96 strip blocks and a secret project (or two), are these 3 projects:
-
My very aged traditional stitchery that is coming along nicely with back stitches instead of stem stitches :-) - The Tilda angel kit with 3 angels – I made the 2 remaining dresses this afternoon.
- The chicken stitchery – ready for framing. I just have to decide on fabric to have around the stitchery before mounting it in a frame.

Wow, big plans for february. As a border for my quilts I often prefer a darker "frame", so black or purple (okay, you don´t have enough purple) would be great. But on the photo some fabrics look like turquoise? Perhaps this lighter option would look great too. Whatever you choose, I think it will look nice!

Flotte blokker du lager, mørkeblått blir kjempefint. Jeg tror jeg har litt¨å lære av deg når det kommer til rester...
ReplyDeleteEtter jul har faktisk vært flink til å bruke av det jeg har untatt et lite feilskjær i fatquartershop da, hmmm...
I didn't use sashing on mine and love the results. However, if you are going to do sashing, I think black is the way to go. Check out mine without the sashing on my strata post.
ReplyDeleteHope to get some time to start my strippy blocks today.
ReplyDeleteFrom looking at the finished squares, I think your dark blue option for a border would look stunning. The angels are looking like they are nearly ready to fly.
ReplyDeleteHow about apple-green og dark blue for the sashing?
ReplyDeleteLove your black and white and red quilt top!and your redwork embroidery. I vote for dark blue sashing :)
ReplyDeleteYour dolls are darling!
