The green just seems to make the other colors muddy. Here is what I am thinking. Using a black and white sashing between the blocks. What do you think?
Wide sashing? Cheddar cornerstone?
Narrow sashing? Teal cornerstone?
It doesn't have as much motion, but I think I can live with it better.
In my indecisive lethargy, I pulled out an old Project in a Grocery Sack, found a simple pattern, and approached it with a "git her done"
attitude.
This is some fabric I bought on a Minnesota vacation several years ago. It is a Holly Taylor collection done for the Minnesota shop hop that year. Of course, I didn't have enough of the purchased fabric for the pattern I chose, but "the stash" came to the rescue and all 30 blocks are done. My cutting table is now clean again, all the scraps cut into usable sizes, and I'm ready to face the GI again.

Love the wider sashings. Makes it less busy with a country feel to it.
ReplyDeleteI like the thinner sashing if you are going to change it up :)
ReplyDeleteI vote for the wider sashing. I'm having the same problem. The sashings are too busy even though I used the same colors as the MQ.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the process of choosing what's right for your quilt. Congrats on the other finish and subsequent clean up...I'm impressed.
ReplyDeleteThe sashing does take away some of the business, however I do like your original layout.
