I have another finish this morning. I started this sampler December 31, 2020, drafting the block patterns and giving them to my SIL. Then I decided to move. Last week I delivered the last of the block instructions, so it was time to assemble this quilt. The only issue, is I didn’t like the fabric I picked for the sashing – it was too stark against the blocks. I really thought it was going to be yet another quilt where the inspiration fabric wasn’t going to be used as the border. I posted on Facebook my dilemma, and orange and black were was suggested. My original choice was black, so that wasn’t going to work. So I took my blocks & the border fabric with me when I drove down to Gardensong.
I found an orange Grunge with pink and yellow highlights. I think it works.
The backing is a floral with all of the colors. I bound it with the Grunge.
