I don't think I would frame them. I like the look without sashing. Thanks for sharing your blocks. I love the fabrics.

I made one similiar and did not frame the blocks. It is also April Cornell designed fabric by Moda. I never considered framing each block. I like the busy blocks flowing throughout. Mine is Queen size. I love it! Blues and yellows with some green. I love the colors in your king size. Made me want to order the fabric right away. Great job!

I prefer no border. I like the D9P when they are all connected and just keep dispapearinbg into each other. Such soft chaos.

I like the idea of auditioning them. Lay them out without the framing and take a picture and then audition some framing fabric and take pictures. The pictures might help you to decide. I really love your colors. I don't know what I would do.

Really, like that fabric line... :) no frame, probibly pop with salmon or blue, but for softer look the green could even go w/2 of the softer shades.... sadly enough most of the time has to do with how much is remaining of what, that desides my borders.
Thats going to be Beautiful no matter what, and yes post pictures when your done !! :)

I like the look of the blocks all just sewn together in a scrappy rather than formal setting. Great choice of fabric, too, I made a quilt out of that same line from charm squares.

I have over 20 blocks. I don't know if I should frame each block or connect them. If I frame each block I'm not sure what color would work. I want it to be soft and soothing but not yellow. The fabrics are almost exclusively from the Portugal line by April Cornell for Moda. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Hugs, Sue

I made one of these and I didn't frame them. Boy was it fun for the DGKs to find the blocks
