A lot of handsewing is taking place and progress is being made on the stitcheries I mentioned previously.
Tonight, however, I resurrected the red & turquoise wonky log cabin blocks and a little more progress has been made...........
I think progress on this quilt is so very slow because I am not entirely sure exactly what to do with it. I know I'm going to sash between the blocks because I don't have enough fabric to make enough blocks for a decent size (am aiming for either 4 x 5 or 5 x 6 blocks, depending how it goes). But I'm not entirely sure which colour to use. White would be the classic, but I'm not really feeling it. I love all the charcoal I'm seeing around and am tempted by that, but would it look to dark next to these colours? Another alternative would be a fawn type colour like I used on Penny's quilt
Any thoughts??

what about sashing in a very pale aqua? lighter than what you're using here...
I like what Penny did, but it depends if you want to keep the quilt colors vibrant or tame them down. Light aqua might be pretty? I'd take a few of your blocks to the LQS and lay them out on solids.
It's looking fab, I must say I like the sound of the charcoal...quite edgy but still in keeping with the blue tones, and will make the red even more vibrant. Think it would look fab xxx
