I like the quilted sashing better than not quilting it, however, I wonder if a different stitching pattern would help the individual blocks stand out more. The way you have it stitched now it is hard to tell where one block stops and the next starts. I definitely liked the sashing stitched though.
I prefer the unquilted sashings, as they better delineate the blocks. A different quilting pattern might do the same thing, though those sashings are rather small, so that might not be noticeable enough.
Oooo!!!! I definitely like the look of the quilted sashing better than the before picture. But I agree with Chay-- doing some straight lines would help to define the individual blocks better, I think... kind of like a frame.
wonderful little quilt, have now got the book but do not have a clue where I go from there. I am very new top quilting, meeting up with a friend at a show saturday who I hope can sort me out.
Def love the after pic...I like them both but the sashing quilted just completes it. Beautiful
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great - I think quilting the sashing helps to tame it...and gives some really interesting depth. :)

ReplyDeleteI like that it's all quilted. Even though the pieces are sooo small, it makes a difference!

ReplyDeleteA completely different approach is getting a low loft batt i.e. Quilters Dream "Request" has a low loft.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I prefer the after one :))
