Design Wall Monday–April 14, 2014

Today on my design wall I have my Sisters Choice blocks.  There are only six blocks so far but I have several more kits ready to make several more. Bonnie Hunter shows her quilt without sashing but her backgrounds are much more calm – with black and whites, they are much busier and will need some calming down.  I am thinking of scrappy blacks and will have to think about cornerstones.

For some reason, there is a lot of red in these blocks but the next batch is more varied.  I am using green for the star points but anything goes for the nine patches.

For more design walls, go to Patchwork Times here.

  1. Great blocks! I love the white/black background. It really makes the other colors stand out. (And I love the red!)

  2. Cute blocks! Nice scrappy B&W backgrounds. I like your idea of black print for the sashing. Maybe repeat the green in the cornerstones?

  4. Black print sashing would be great. Might want to try a white with black cornerstone, make it kind of look like a nine patch where the CS is. Just a thought.

  5. Love your blocks. Is this what we're doing in Vegas?

  6. The scrappy black sashing would make the blocks pop. I would sash the sides of each black and then long strips of sashing be tween the rows and skip the cornerstones.
