All of the shown pics are beautiful. Linda, I think your quilt is beautiful. I would do the sashing on the sides and the tone on tone green should be perfect.

Linda....your quilt is gorgeous. Jennie at MSQC did a sashing ideas tutorial and this was one of them. I don't recall if there was a pattern name for it. Here's the link and, as you can see, your sashing is on the quilt behind her. And, green would be perfect.

Thank you, Teen. It is one of my favorites. I designed the quilt. The blocks were from a Block of the Month I ran for our local guild one year with patterns I wrote. It took a while for me to put the quilt together when the BOM was done, I let it be a WIP for a couple of years. I discovered the 9 patch border, even on point, didn't quite fit the quilt, but that is always just an opportunity for design options for me and is the reason I made the different and blue sides.

I had to laugh at myself, before I read your comments, I was looking at the border and thinking, "I love it, I'll have to ask for the name of the pattern!" LOL

Isn't it interesting how changing the color or the orientation of a block can change the whole look of a quilt?!
One of my favorites to do that with is what I call a tri-square triangle (like a half square triangle but with 3 triangles in it). Think of the different ways that can be colored and then what you can do with those squares!
Here are a few examples I've drawn.
