    Default what color sashing?

    Someone that had posted a fcharms quilt said next time she would cut the sashing to 2 so I was thinking about cutting my sqs 6 inch and use the 2 inch sash to make it go a little quicker.
    I`ve had this in my sash was thinking I could make it up fr a rffle quilt fo grs swim team.
    There is lots of color dots similar but one the same is drk purple.
    I don`t want to use white.
    Thanks Gale

    Go for the purple if you have it, I also think that red would look good.

    IMHO, not everyone loves purple (have a friend who has voiced this more than once).

    How about a dark blue (blue is also the color of water) Just a suggestion.

    There seems to be a brown/tan or even a dark green fabric on both fabrics. I would go with a color that is reasonably close in both fabrics to give a unity to the quilt.

    I think dark green. That would make the top with swimming and camping look like it is in the forest surrounded by green trees
