I was inspired by the quilt on this link to make a quilt for my nephew who is having surgery

I started last night and made 4 blocks.. but I am not so sure. I have some flannel layer cakes that I am using. The flannels are all pretty dark and I have camo minky for the back... so I think the quilt will need some contrast that is why I have the off white sashing.

What do you guys think? One look I like it the next look am not so sure. Should I make the sashing thinner? I started with 1-1/4" strips finish at 3/4" Should I go to 1" to finish at 1/2"

I like it. It is masculine and looks warm & cozy.

​I like it for a nephew. I wouldn't change the size of the sashing.

Very good color for a boy. Sashing look good, I wouldn't change it.

i really like it. perhaps try a setting with very narrow sashings for the matching fabrics and a thicker sashing between each set of four?... just a thought

I think the proportion of the sashing & blocks is perfect! That is a great layer cake you are using. You might be overthinking this, that 1/4" isn't going to be noticed.

I agree I really like it and he will love it, just go for it.

Maybe you're hesitant because your sashing is white, whereas pic is black....try the natural color muslin...that would go well with homespun/plaids....jmho

The lighter gray really stands out from the rest.

I like what you are doing. I feel the sashing size is a perfect size. Love your fabric you are using and it looks so cozy and warm and so masculine. Good luck to your nephew for his surgery and what a wonderful aunt you are.
