I think it frames the block nicely and allows the block to stand out better and rests the eye between each block. Have you heard of the 'Fibonacci' rule? There is a great article and table in I think it was Down Under Quilts by Barb Cleaver. Very interesting. Handy for setting out quilts in proportion etc.<BR/>Kind regards from LizLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941670037462646592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35896003.post-12605076268524851432008-10-15T17:51:00.000+11:002008-10-15T17:51:00.000+11:00Tracey, i also like the 2.5 or 3 inch sashes.I thi...Tracey, i also like the 2.5 or 3 inch sashes.<BR/>I think they look a little crowded with the smaller sash.<BR/><BR/>What did you decide?<BR/>BTW 1 puppy to go now.<BR/><BR/>Robyn xxRGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07678323038280327713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35896003.post-15941074581688697512008-10-14T04:27:00.000+11:002008-10-14T04:27:00.000+11:00... there is something wrong with me ... I always ...... there is something wrong with me ... I always tend to be" odd man/woman out." I would add a narrow border of coral/yellow/peach to the outside of each block, then use the brown between, slightly larger then the coral/yellot/peach. I see (up close) the brown has some definition of it's own, but IMHO, too much brown for the loveliness of the blocks. I am thinking the coral/yellow/peach would brighten them up, adding to the happiness of the blocks.

I'm no expert *s* but I read somewhere that the sash (border) should relate to the block in size. If the blocks are 9" then 3" would be nice (easy division) if they are 10" then go for the 2".<BR/>In the end, the quilt will be dearly loved and so all that mental calculation won't be necessary at all *s*Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17872055894285312153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35896003.post-42914080907210642842008-10-12T23:20:00.000+11:002008-10-12T23:20:00.000+11:00The blocks look big so they could handle a 3" sash...The blocks look big so they could handle a 3" sashing but I prefer the narrower.
