Barb in Louisiana

I finished the Baton Rouge block. I don't know why, but it looked more complicated than it was.

I had earlier decided what the sashing should be. Sometimes things look good on paper, but not so good in real life. Well, I tried several different sashings. I really like the dark brown. Which one do you like?

Barb, I have this same focus fabric for our Boom swap this time. I'm asking for no brown to be added to the blocks because I'm using brown TOT for my sashing and binding. I like the brown best, but that's just my preference.

Barb, Answer to #112, at this stage I like the dark brown.

I like the blue stripe w/background strips..doesn't take away from the blocks. The dark brown kinda jumps out at you, and the one w/the paisley w/blue takes away from the blocks also. JMHO.. ;o)

Barb, I like the medium brown (in your hand) for sashing. If you want more dark brown you could add dark brown cornerstones.

Thanks for the responses. I'm glad I don't have to make a decision right now. The dark brown, in person, really makes the blocks pop. The other treatments are much more restful. Rest....Pop? That is the question.

Yikes! I'd better get a move on or I'll fall behind again. I'm aiming for Wednesday to get my blocks made. I love looking at everyone's blocks - all so colorful, the same yet different. Can't wait to see some finished tops!
