If you have some scraps try an unexpected splash of color....perhaps even a great orange or orange/red. Something that pops and keeps your eye moving throughout the quilt! It is fantastic, Ada!

Just a thought, Cut strips of sashing your prefered width plus your seam allowance ( u could make them finish the same width as each of your patches in your blocks) and have the sash pieces a teeny bit longer than each 9 patch block. Sew 1 to top and 1 to bottom of block AND THEN TRIM. You will have to do some accurate measuring for the side bits with your print patches at each end of your sashing piece and then join up the whole row of blocks. The next row underneath will only need the side bits of sashing done. Oh my goodness all that doesn't make any sense at all!! I will lend you one of my books if you want.....Sam xSam from Betsymakesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5820448587005531644.post-40939542882032812662013-02-07T18:03:23.989-08:002013-02-07T18:03:23.989-08:00So beautiful Ada!!
