This is the same project that was on my design wall last week - this month's UFO. I spent a lot of time auditioning various sashing strips. I thought I liked white until I found the perfect blue. I joined the strips by machine on the front of the quilt, and am hand stitching the back seams. There is one more week left in the month to get a hanging sleeve on and finish the binding - totally doable...a "finish" is on the horizon!To see more design walls, hop over to Patchwork Times.

Yes, it does look like the perfect blue. Great job.
Your blocks look great, and I love that bright blue sashing.
You are spot on. The white looked nice but now that you have added the blue sashing the quilt has really come to life.
The blue is perfect. Are the pieces put on using raw edge applique?
Great blue sashing, it really ties everything together. It really pays to audition fabrics first.
Love it...you are right it is the best shade of blue! A finish is always a good thing!!
The blue sashing is perfect! The quilt hums with activity.

Great call on the blue. YEAH! for a finish.
I like the blue, too. Looks like this UFO is almost finished. Good for you.
Such a fun looking quilt. The blue was a good call--just brings a new dimension to the whole thing!
uhhh I LOVE that blue!! gorgeous.... can't wait to see it finished. how are you going to quilt it?
Love your quilt. It is striking with all the bright colors and yes, you have chosen the right color for the sashing. After I made the comment asking you to tell us how you created the blocks, I noticed you had already explained about the quilt in a previous post. Thank you for sharing.
Love the blue. Very striking.
I sent you an email offering some teeny tiny HSTs. Let me know if you want them.
Yes, on the Perfect Blue! Thanks for the reminder, LOL. I sewed my brains out, as Bonnie Hunter would say- at a Quilt Retreat. Time to rest and un-pack now.
Your last two posts make me want to try this prequilting technique. It sounds doable.
The blue sashing is the perfect finishing touch for your blocks. You are right on schedule to get them done just in time.
The blue looks great! Great find.
I really like this quilt and I have to say the blue is really a nice addition! Lovely
The blue is just right. It's going to be a stunning quilt.
that blue is really perfect and make the colors in the blocks really pop!

the blue fabric was perfect--makes me think of the sky. Peonies never last long enough! Treadling---maybe this fall I will dig out a treadle and relax more. I will think good thoughts for your brother.
