Which Sashing Would You Use?

I like the idea of making two quilts using different color sashing on each - like pink and lavender. The "blank" blocks could be a pretty design fabric or perhaps some vintage hankies or just white like the Sunbonnet Sue blocks. Whatever you choose, the granddaughters will love them.
The great thing about the reproduction fabrics is that any color goes with them!

I'd make two quilts as well. You may find a fabric that would go well with Sun Bonnet Sue for the squares; just a thought. I would probably use square of different colors and even "not busy" prints, to use between your blocks. You've done an outstanding job on the applique! You great-grand-daughters are very lucky girls!

I'm glad you asked this, Pink and two quilts would be my choice. Your blocks are beautiful. I am planning to make my two children one each out of their late father and my clothing for the sue and sam , oh yes my dc are adults. That is a must to have one each. Hadn't thought of using the plain block between them.
