Layout question, D4P
My DH met some of his birth siblings about 3 years ago. And one has become my best friend and sister i never had. She is amazing taking care of a moody teen boy who found girls exist and a kindergardener who is special. She puts them all first and never utters a squeak of negativity or weakness. Hubby drives trucks so he isnt often home. She never asked for a quilt but recently said that she considered anyone worthy of a handmade gift as being very loved indeed.
i have collected these fabrics over a year for her, but until the recent swap of a D4P twist i was stumped what pattern to do. So saturday i ironed and cut, sunday I sewed and pressed and still have 20 blocks to go. The question i have, sashing or abutted?

I love your picture, by sewing the blocks together it creates another dimension of diagonal lines. A thin yellow border and then a thicker border of blue perhaps would complete this quilt beautifully IMHO of course

Lovely blocks, your sister in law will feel the love! IMHO I think a deep blue for sashing would be perfect, then a narrow deep yellow border and another wider border in either deep blue, or scrappy with deep blue.
