I saw a quilt called pinwheel party that has the blocks separated by solid white or white on white blocks and I'm thinking I might do that arrangement. I could live with that maybe with a prairie point sashing or border.
Still thinking!

I need input on sashing, please - should I put any in, if so what?
I vote for no sashing - you already have the dynamic changes with your pattern - I think sashing would detract - but then again - it your beautiful quilt !

More great blocks to admire!
Keep it up everyone.
Today is day 23!
Love the finished quilt for kids!
Re: sashing: lay the blocks on a piece of fabric about 2" apart and see how you like it! I like it without but since it's your quilt you might like it better with.

Today is day 24!
How is everyone coming along?
I'm hanging in there!
I think I have my final design in my head and just need a few more pinwheels then I hope to applique or embroider something in the white on white blocks between the pinwheels.
I'm also thinking of using the 2" of material I cut off the 10" blocks to make them 8" and sew those strips end to end to make a narrow border around the body of the quilt. I was thinking of a prairie border but that fabric is only 2" wide so that won't work. Also thinking of a piano border but I'm sure I won't have enough strips left for that so I think the multicolored border will do nicely.
:-D :-D
