The retreat friends were asking me how many blocks I am making. These are 16" blocks so I won't need to make a lot of them. I thought I better play with some settings.
This is my first thought
67"x90"
Side by side with sashing to give them room to breathe.
60"x85"
85"x85"
Here is the look side by side no sashing. 72"x72"
I feel like I know which way I'm leaning but would love to hear any input or alternate ideas.
On another note, I was donated some books and would love to find them a home!
These books were donated to me and all proceeds will go to Faith Seeds, the non profit in Guatemala that I am on the board.
$10 each plus postage ( shipping most inexpensive way possible)
Or make me an offer!

ReplyDeleteYour trees look wonderful! I need to start a few here now.
ReplyDeleteI like the 85 x 85, only because I like big quilts...and I made one a couple of years ago in red and white, but the colors were reversed.
ReplyDeleteYour finished quilt will be outstanding, no matter which setting you choose. I think I favor those with sashing for these blocks. Your work is stunning and shows such precision! I need to pare down my huge library of quilt books, or I would buy those in a heartbeat! If you want more books to sell, let me know!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'd love more books! Thank you!
DeleteLove tree of life. Sashless setting seems like a true forest to me, fitting for the block. Your posts perk up my day each time, Lori.
ReplyDeleteOh a forest! I love that visual!
DeleteI like the blocks with no sashing best - more "foresty" or woodsy. With sashing is good too, more of an open woodland look. Perhaps a narrower sashing though - maybe finishing the same size as the HSTs in the trees? Alternating blocks...kind of boring(?). Unless there's an interesting fabric or fancy quilting in the plain blocks, but that might steal attention from the tree blocks, not sure if that's what you'd want.
ReplyDeleteNice work on the blocks!
