I've now made all the parts for the the body of Rhododendron Trail, so I pinned up as much as possible to get a look at it:
This is without the sashing. My final quilt will have a grid of 4x4 of the pink blocks that you can see 3x3 of here, but I ran out of space on my pinboard/design wall.
After I had taken them all down again I thought I really should see how it will look with the sashing. So here's a few blocks pinned back up on the aqua fabric:
I tried posting this to instagram, but I am currently blocked from using it. I knew I couldn't like or comment on other people's posts, but it turns out I am not allowed to post my own content either. That's the second time this year I have been blocked, each time for 7 days. The reason given for blocking me makes no sense. Has anyone else been blocked by instagram for liking too many posts? How many is too many, one wonders? I liked less than 5 between my first and second blocks!
Must say this is not one of my favorite Mystery quilts Bonnie did ... It looks better with the aqua sashing for ME.
ReplyDeleteWow--it really looks so different with the sashing--I don't know which I like better either...they are both pretty...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous... I love the aqua!
ReplyDeleteI love the aqua. You have a beautiful summer with lots of flowers. We have 60cm of snow. It's been almost a week and we still haven't been dug out. On top of that we are in total lock sown. But schools have reopened for in-class learning. Crazy!
ReplyDeleteHave fun deciding which way you will make this quilt, Vireya.
ReplyDeleteI much prefer with the sashing. It is where the points on the pink meet the garnet triangles that look too busy without it. I have seen a photo of a version where the flying geese were used to make the internal sashing, a completely different setting and in the colours used very effective.
ReplyDeleteI like it with the aqua. The blocks seem to pop.
ReplyDeleteI would use sashing just so I didn't have a bunch of seams butting against one another. Unless you somehow managed to press them in different directions, which would be hard given the quilt is a mystery. Congrats on finishing up the parts!
