Hi - is anyone making a Sylvia's Bridal Sampler or Loyal Union Sampler, both by Jennifer Chiaverini ?

I am making both quilts and I am NEARLY there !!!!

My question is - what width sashing has anyone used ?

With grateful thanks,

How large are you blocks?? The sashing appears to be very narrow, maybe 1/4" or 1/2" wide if the blocks are small like Dear Jane.

Thank you for replying. The blocks are 6 inch - Dear Jane was 4 1/2 inches. At least I won't have the triangles to add - as in my DJ.
I thought to cut 1 inch for a 1/2 " finish.
Thanks again.

My blocks are 6", sashing is 1 1/4" finished. Sorry I can't get picture to load. I set my blocks on point. You can try looking under Pictures, "I Envy Sylvia".

Oops! Picture did load.

This is my Sylvia's bridal sampler, my sashing is 1 1/2" cut, so 1" finished.

Melissa, gorgeous quilt!

I'm still working on blocks, but I plan on doing 1" finished sashing. Will use a white or a light print-not sure yet. Backgrounds are lights and whites in my blocks.

Thanks so much for your kind replies. WOW Melissa - your quilt is stunning and love your log cabins around the edge.

I have decided and will cut 1 1/2 " strips and finish at 1".
Thanks again.
