Rachel! Your work is absolutely gorgeous. That’s a million dollar quilt! Are you paper-piecing the sashing intersections? And hand sewing them?

Thanks, Pat! I am not paper piecing the sashing intersections - the ones that I changed color on. Those are traditionally pieced. I am paper piecing the triangle points in the sashing strips. The only hand sewing on this quilt is applique of the Dresden plate flowers.

Love the new sashing center. It enhances the crystalline shape of the snowflake.

This quilt keeps getting better and better. I love the new sashing design. It is so complimentary to the deco flowers. I can't wait to see it finished!

Love the dreamy feel of these colors. black (the dark blue) in the sashing gives an anchoring to the space, wonderful adjustment!

Yay, thanks! It's good to hear that the adjustment makes sense to some others as well =)

Why did you not like the white ‘star’ in the centre?

Expand full comment
Rachel LaBour's avatar

I felt that it stood out too much. There are so many tiny white squares, which kind of boggle the eyes. I felt that the white in the star center was visually confusing.

It's all by machine except for hand applique of the Dresden flowers at the Deco Bloom block centers.
