W.I.P Wednesday
I am really excited about the sashing for my little Swoon quilt. Hence my decision to share it on WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced with you all! But then, I am easily excited about lots of things having to do with quilting! When I started these blocks out of my stash (I am excited that I used my stash!) I had some fat quarters and also solid Kona in a pink so very light that it looks white against the batting. I don't know the name of the color but I am, yes, very excited about it.
The fabric itself was leftover from one of my first quilts, long gifted to a dear friend. SHE was very excited. In thinking about the sashing for these blocks, I decided to use the strips that I had saved from that quilt, and subcut them as in this picture.
The strips were the entire Papillon collection, so my scrappy sashing was a dream for me, and looks wonderful in the quilt top.

If you look back on WIP Wednesday, you will see another great Swoon block! I will use this pattern again, but I will probably use more fabrics for each block just as Kirsten did in hers!!
My last block was my favorite!! Thanks for stopping by!!!

I think this block looks really striking with the red. A whole quilt would be very eye catching and dramatic.
ReplyDeleteThe red of the block certainly picks up the red in the sashing. I like the idea of being able to use up smaller cuts as you did with the sashing. It is very effective.
Oh wow! I love the sashing. I linked to your previous post and mused that I was looking forward to seeing the completed version and here it is. The sashing sets it off perfectly. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove it!! So great you're using stuff from your stash to make such beautiful blocks! Great job :)
