I decided on a very simple sashed setting for this quilt without cornerstones. I have a 60" square batting from Hobbs set aside for this project so I used that as my "maximum size" when deciding on how wide to cut my sashing strips. I settled on cutting 1.5" strips, so my finished quilt size will be 53" square.
Sometimes a quilt just needs a very simple setting.
I also put together a pieced backing for this quilt using some of the Quiet Shades yardage I received and some of the remaining 10" squares.
Now this quilt is ready to quilt! What sort of quilting do you think I should do?

I love the way this turned out. Sometimes I like something a bit curvy over the stars but then I’m also liking the dot to dot quilting Angela Walters does. Lots of good choices at the stencil company for curvy block.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty quilt. The simple setting is perfect for those starts to shine. As for quilting, as the quilt is all straight lines something with curves or swirls would be great I think.
ReplyDeleteI like how you decided how large to make the quilt! The practical aspect of quilting can never be underestimated.
It looks great.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! I agree with curves as a quilting motif. Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
ReplyDeletePeaceful, beautiful quilt! Great finish!
ReplyDeleteIt is adorable. If it's intended to be for a child I would just do an overall design and keep it soft and squishy. Whatever you decide it will be a lovely quilt.
ReplyDeleteSometimes simple is best, it lets the fabrics and colors shine. I agree with Chris, overall design and keep it loose. Congrats on an beautiful almost finish.
