I almost forgot about this quilt, but my cotton and steel quilt (the 16 patches), reminded me of it. I started this one almost a year ago, finished all the 16 patches and laid them out and did NOT like it. (It's beginning to sound like I dislike all the quilts I make...not true, just the ones I put away for a long time.) I quickly snatched them up and put them away--out of sight, out of mind. Which is pretty much what happened. I forgot about them, which is a good thing because I just wasn't feeling it.
Then I stumbled on this quilt (I LOVE that quilt), and felt like my glimma quilt could be saved! SASHING! So I played around with a few colors, and I think this essex linen (flax) will make it work! Yay. I'm actually feeling pretty excited about this quilt now, which is a miracle, because I was not happy with it before.
Yes, it does look great with that sashing! Nice find =)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! I love those muted colors. I think it will be great.
ReplyDeletegreat solution, that's going to be beautiful
ReplyDeleteohh I think it is going to look wonderful, the sashing will really make those blocks pop
ReplyDeleteI think it's going to be gorgeous with the sashing! I've been kind of going through the same thing ~ I have 70 blocks from the City Sampler QAL that have been sitting for months ~ I finally ordered the sashing fabric today. Now I'm inspired to get it done! Thanks!! :)
