    Default Help with a charity quilt

    I am making a quilt for the United Way Auction at work. I am doing quilt as you go. I have all the blocks done and I need help with the sashing strips. Should I do white on white or maybe a tea stained fabric?

    I made a string quilt like this - not quilt as you go - but I used black sashing and it gave it a great stained glass effect.

    Great blocks! It depends on the look but I think W on W or black would be the best choices.

    Black would be striking. WOW would also work. Audition and see which catches your eye.

    W on W would work but I think a black sashing strip would really make a statement on your pretty quilt. The black would frame it and make the colors "pop". Let us know what you decide and share a picture.

    I think black would be great. White on white would work but you already have quite a bit. Do you want more? Another color I'd try would be bright yellow.

    I believe a black on black boarder would make all these beautiful colors just stand out.

    I vote for black. Any way you go it will be a beautiful quilt but I like black to make colors pop.

    Try the different fabrics along the block. Take a picture to see if you like the choice. Does this pattern call for sashing? I like the blocks as shown. Adding a large border is another option. Good luck with your choices!
