I have been spending my time in the nice warm house getting started on school work and finishing quilts. Today I have 4 more Scrappy Susannah quilts from the Fall block drive. This brings us up to 8 quilts so far from that drive for Covered in Love!
All 4 of these were assembled and quilted by me. Toward the end of piecing the tops I decided to try some with sashing for something different.
I really like how the light colored sashing with cornerstones looks from a distance. It's amazing how the sashing fabric can make one quilt look so minimalist and the other look so busy!
Hope you are staying warm this winter and enjoying some time in front of the sewing machine!

I like it best with the solid sashing----any color used for the "white" squares and matching sashing would be wonderful I think
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are beautiful and what a wonderful cause. Thank you for doing this!
ReplyDeleteIt IS amazing how the same blocks can produce three entirely different quilts! They look great! You’ve been super busy!
ReplyDeleteSuch different looks between the non-sashing and solid vs patterned sashing! I'm guessing it was a bit easier to piece the tops with sashing, given that we all ironed our blocks differently. Beautiful finishes, Kat!
ReplyDeleteThey are all beautiful and such a thoughtful cause you have created for them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference that light sashing makes! They all look warm and wonderful. It's a good thing you've got someone to keep them from floating away as you finish them. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love how each one is different! The sashing is great, but without sashing is a fun design, too!
ReplyDeleteAmazing quilts, I love the way they look so different with or without sashings!
ReplyDeleteOh, wow - look how different the blocks look with the different sashings! Well done.
ReplyDeleteYour professional quilt holder downer reminds me of the fairy tale, The Princess and The Pea. So CUTE! (can you tell I LOVE kitties?)
ReplyDeleteI really like number three. Of all the weird things I could say,I'll say this--it keeps my brain busy. : )
ReplyDeleteAll three versions look AWESOME!!
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks make for great quilts! I'm working on string blocks for you. Having fun with it!
ReplyDeleteYou are awesome and so are the quilts. I like them all.
ReplyDeleteOoh. I like your scrap quilt. I just started the CIL block drive and completed my first block. Looking forward to seeing your next post.
