Wow! I love your blocks and the design they make for your quilt! It simply sparkles!!!
Love the soft grey blocks. You jack in the box block together loo great. I love the blocks with out sashing. Can you make more if you really need the quilt bigger. maybe have to use your idea for next year.
I like this quilt more every time I see it. Definitely worth the time it will take to make enough blocks to get it to be a good size.
This came out so nice. I agree with Angela - worth the time if you want it bigger. I added sashings to mine to help with the size.
Looking great so far Andee. When I was working on mine yesterday, I also was wondering how I was going to put everything together. I liked the unique sashing that Angela did on hers last year, so I'm thinking of that. I'm also thinking of trying a "kiddy-wompas" setting by adding some triangular sashings on each side (ending in a larger 12"(?) square).
I also realized; I never made my orange JackinBox blocks. Maybe I'll tackle that today :)
What about a cream sashing with a mini scrappy coloured pinwheel for the cornerstones?!? That would be so cool!
Very pretty, I like Kathy's idea, sashing with rainbow pinwheels for the cornerstones. Reading your profile, I used to be more a piecer (I could just sew blocks forever) so I bought a longarm, now I finish a lot more and help others to finish as well. A new stage in my life, it feels good to complete the quilt.
I love these blocks even more when I see all of them together! Truly a wonderful rainbow quilt!
what a lovely quilt!
