Earlier in the week I shared some photos of fabrics being auditioned as possible sashing for the Spinning Boxes blocks that I have been making as part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. A choice was made, and I have started joining the blocks into rows with the sashing. The blocks in the upper left corner have all been stitched together, plus the next row is ready to get the long sashing strips added. There is another row in process at the sewing machine, then the lower right corner will finish it off.
The border strips along the left and top are just hanging out on the design wall to look at the scale. Right now they seem awfully wide to me, but we'll see how they look when the center of the quilt is complete. It's easy enough to trim them down if necessary.
I'm happy with the sashing/border fabric that I was able to pull from my stash for this quilt. I especially like the sparkle that the white spots add to the overall look.
I am linking up with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge on Saturday and at Oh Scrap! over at Quilting is more fun than Housework on Sunday. Be sure to check out all of the wonderful projects that everyone is sharing!

How pretty! I love that you used partial blocks for the setting and corner triangles. The sashing and border fabric is great, too.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great setting, and your sashings are just perfect!
ReplyDeleteOh that is the perfect fabric for sure--very pretty hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteWow, this is looking beautiful! That is definitely the perfect fabric to set off that controlled riot of color!
ReplyDeleteIt's looking good, Julie!
ReplyDeleteThe black with multicolored dots looks like the perfect sashing for these blocks! Your quilt is really coming together beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI really like this one! On point gives it a great look!
ReplyDeleteGreat choices! Your quilt is looking wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSet on point with half blocks for the setting triangles?! I didn't see that coming. LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the right choice for sashing, a great quilt.
ReplyDeleteYou found the perfect sashing fabric. Another beautiful quilt well on it's way to being finished. Do you have plans for this one?
ReplyDeleteGreat choice for the sashing! Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteYes I like that a lot for the sashing.
ReplyDeleteLove that sashing fabric! (It looks like the same thing I'm using for setting my Squared Away blocks!)
ReplyDeleteI love that border fabric. There's something so happy about bright multicolor polka dots on black. It's going to be great with your blocks.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty; I like the bright blocks set off by the dark sashing.
