With all the blocks completed in the Layer Cake Quilt along, I have been slacking. But tonight I found some mojo and started working on the sashing and cornerstones for this quilt.
I am using a mottled medium tan for the sashing with pieces of the fabrics used in the blocks as cornerstones.
Originally I was going to use a yellow sashing, but I decided it would overwhelm the quilt as there is already a fair amount of yellow in the blocks. (The main fabric line is called Golden Afternoon)
Here is how it is starting to shape up.
The cornerstones with several of the block settings make for some interesting secondary designs. See how there is a bit of a "chain" but then there is a non-square bit of the darker blue that changes it suddenly. I can't wait to get it all sewn together so I can see how it plays out.
I apologize that the lighting in the picture is not great. My day job interferes with my quilting - but I couldn't afford to quilt without it. Ha ha.
