These blocks are still on my design wall this week.
I feel like I’m on UFO Overload — just flitting from one project to another, not making any significant progress, and wasting my precious sewing time, which is never as much as I’d like, anyway! 😦
I’m going to put everything away except this one project and just work on it for a while. (seems like I’ve said that before…..)
I can’t decide if this quilt should have sashings. My husband likes it the way it is, but I’m thinking about using white sashings with purple cornerstones. It could make a nice secondary design. Or, it could look like the blocks are floating in space with no anchors. Hmmm…
I’ve added a new page to my blog called My Sewing Machines, if anyone wants to look at pictures and compare notes. I love to talk about sewing machines almost better than anything! 🙂
Please take a look at Judy’s blog to see what other quilters have on their design walls today.
Happy Sewing!
I thought I liked this without sashings, but look at it with the sashing, I think that really gives it interest! Beautiful!

I like it either way. It has a secondary design in both settings that are interesting. What size do you want it to be? Maybe that will help decide how you want to set it.
I like it both ways.
I made some similar looking blocks this week!
I like the design without the sashing since I see a repeating diamond pattern.
I know you have the colors set up so that the similar fabrics are on a diagonal, but what do these options look like?
A. light blue block in the center, the dark blues on the corners and the other blocks opposite of each other
B. light blue block in the center, the greens and peaches on opposite corners and the dark blue blocks forming a diamond in the middle positions

I flit when I am cleaning mostly, and what happens is that it seems nothing is happening until all of a sudden everything is done at once. That’s probably what would happen with your quilting, but if you need to see progress then put everything else away. I like the quilt with the sashing better.
I love the blocks without the sashing. I like the secondary design of the square made by the 4 different colored triangles.
I vote for a neutral type sashing. Check my last post, I have put a top made of 9 patches set with a tan sashing. Simple, but I think it sets the blocks off.
I was looking at it and thinking darker sashings would make the blocks float 🙂
Without the sashing, by all means! ;o) Love the bold, happy fabrics.
