The layout of Nabby's Dowry Sew-Along from Heartspun Quilts was revealed last friday - click here to see the quilt. These are my blocks on the design wall and I switch them around every time I walk by. I really like the layout but can't seem to decide on the fabric for the sashing and setting triangles.
I have been auditioning possible fabrics.
I think the tan is too blah and washes out the blocks.
I'm liking the red for the sashing and the setting triangles.
Is it too much red?!?!
I think if you use the red for sashing, the tan would make good setting triangles with the red used again as the border. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteI'm sewing the border on my version today--in between canning pears. Feels like I will never finish with either project! : )
Using all red would make those blocks just float on the top. I think it would look neat =).
ReplyDeleteI like the red.
ReplyDeleteThat red really brings the focus in on your blocks! I say go for it!
ReplyDeleteI prefer the red
ReplyDeleteI definitely like the red better than the tan, but I find it really heavy if you use only that colour. I like Janet's suggestion of using the red for the sashing, but then using the tan elsewhere to lighten things up a bit.
ReplyDeleteI kind of like the dark red! Your blocks are so pretty, the quilt is going to be gorgeous no matter what you use!
ReplyDeleteRight on the mark. Red it is...the gold/beige is too blahhhh!!! Look at you go girl. Wish I could get as much done!
ReplyDeleteblocks look good but torn as to what colour to use
ReplyDeleteAwesome blocks! No input to offer on colors for Sashing and setting. :(
ReplyDeleteI like the red. It's going to be gorgeous no matter which color you pick!
ReplyDeleteI don't think there is such a thing as too much red!!!!! I say go for it!
