Next Step

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 haven't totally decided if that is better or not!

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.

I 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!

Have fun deciding which way you will make this quilt, Vireya.

I 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.

I like it with the aqua. The blocks seem to pop.

I 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!
