Patchwork Sampler

Make quilts. Use fabric. Have fun.

Sashing Decision for Stamp Quilt

All the blocks are finished for my Stamp quilt.  I have a soft gray solid that I really hoped would work for the sashing. It matches the gray in the prints well and I love the color but I’m not sure it works for this quilt.  The white just looks more crisp and fresh.  I never thought I’d be using white in quilts like I have been lately but it seems like a lot of the newer fabrics call for whiter, brighter accents.

Stamp Sashing

 

Since it’s snowing I had to take the pictures inside so you can’t tell a lot of difference, but I’m thinking white is the way to go on this one.

    Nice blocks. I like both sashings … whichever one you decide will be great. (In fact, you probably have it finished by now. Your post was three hours ago. 🙂 Nobody gets projects faster than you do! I love your work.

    Thank you so much for sharing this idea. I have a million (more or less) of those little bricks cut out. Now I know what to try to do with them. Joanne

    I can tell a lot of difference. For my old eyes, the gray was soothing and the white glaring. =) I do like the blocks, though.
