I'm going to sash the blocks with two different colors, but naturally, I'm debating about that too. These blocks are so colorful, I was kind of thinking about using a few different colors for sashing, to keep up with the rainbow effect of the blocks, but I'm not sure yet. I really need to put this aside to make some quilt backs this weekend. It's going to be tough to stop on this quilt, because I'm really in love with it...
I'm not quite done making blocks, I think I'll do one more set of wonky blocks, but here's how it's coming together so far.
By the way, this quilt is so far totally nameless...though I can't seem to stop calling it A Legion of Dots in my head...
Don't forget, the cutting instructions for the quilt along are up. Stacks of gorgeous cut fabrics are showing up in the Flickr pool already! Have a great weekend everyone!
what do you use for your design wall?? is it a flannel shower curtain?? those blocks are GREAT!!
ReplyDeleteHey! That is a great name! Cute quilt!
ReplyDeleteThat looks great! I think on a prior post you indicated you did a stack & whack for this? Looks great and I love your name for it.
ReplyDeleteThose blocks are great, perfect for a little boys quilt! I like the name, it fits!
ReplyDeleteooh, I love all those blocks on your design wall!
ReplyDeleteI would do a fairly thin, white sashing. Kind of keep the blocks together, but just enough of an edge to differentiate each block.
I love your wonky 9 patches! It's going to be an awesome quilt.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! He is going to LOVE it! :)
ReplyDeleteoh man...rotary injuries can be nasty! i took off the corner of my thumbnail, and almost the corner of my thumb with my rotary! amazingly, it didn't leave a scar. the quilt is looking awesome!
ReplyDeletethis is amazing
ReplyDeleteCompletely digging the name Legion of Dots!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, it looks great! This pattern is a great choice for all those dots. Love the name, BTW!
ReplyDeleteThose blocks are fantastico!
ReplyDeleteI managed to draw blood last night, too--I poked myself hard with a pin. The way I figure it, it's not really a project unless you get bloody at some point, right? *g*
And I did it--I went out and bought some fabric for the quilt-along today. I'm making a baby-size; I figure I can keep up if it's small. The thing is, though, I really, really like my fabric. I may not be able to save it to give to anyone else...
Super cute! Those blocks look so great all together.
ReplyDeleteLove the wonky 9-patches!! A Legion of Dots is a rockin' name, too.
ReplyDeleteHow cute! It's looking amazing already! I've not seen that block before, but I like it! =)
ReplyDeleteHello! I've only been a follower a short while, but I wanted to share with you a little award that was given to me. I just wanted to share the love with some blogs that I've really enjoyed over the last few months!
