What about sashing? Nothing in the Aussie fabric box worked (mostly F8ths and FQs in that collection) My stash yielded a Stonehenge print that was just right. Alas, I was a few sashes short. I found another tone-on-tone yellow-gold that blends nicely and I'm going to go with it.
Yellow is the RSC color for August so there's a goal achieved.
Whole leaf rosinweed, black-eyed Susan.
Yellow false foxglove, early goldenrod

I'm laughing at "a few sashes short of a flimsie", the knitter's equivalent is being a few skeins short of a sweater. I'd have gone for sunflower gold but that's because I don't bat for "blends nicely"
ReplyDeleteI love that quilt! How very fun!
ReplyDeleteThat comment was from me, Julie.
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty design with your original blocks set on point! I don't think anyone will notice that there are two different sashing fabrics either. Always enjoy seeing your wildflowers, too!
ReplyDeleteI would say it counts! The quilt is looking great so far. The red triangles set it off so nicely.
ReplyDeleteThose sashing and setting triangle fabrics are perfect, Nann! I love seeing the blocks with and without them. Also, finished reading The Sheltered Life this week. Very interesting; I see it in my mind as a black and white movie with a young Bette Davis playing Jenny Blair, Carole Lombard as Mrs. Archbald, and Humphrey Bogart gets cast as George. ;-).
ReplyDeleteI like how you turned the blocks on point - gives it a whole 'nother look!!!
