Which do you Ladies (and Germs, if any venture this far into the darkside) think....
The strips in the blocks measure 1" so should I have 2" sashing ????

All measurements finished (pic sashing width approx)
Oh yes! You see (Lowena ... :devil:) I am getting on with things in the background you know!
-
One inch.
-
The 1” looks better I think, more balanced...
-
Thank you .. but it has evolved ...
Im going to do some shadow sashing, so black and then the other.

Looking at the pic, the black, grey and white fabric looks fantastically blurry and I think this will look fab!
-
Ooh I love that, it looks like the blocks are floating, very effective.
-

I'm going to try the shadow sashing one day....looks good.

Love 'em <3 <3
-
The hovering shapes are cool! I should give quilting a go and do that for my son ;)
-
Oooh I like that, when do you find the time?
-
First one, sashing is fine. Second one (stripes) will need wider sashing or it will get lost.
-
Ouch that hurts my eyes the stripey one- nothing wrong with the delightful picture, just me.... an OT friend of mine said I have some visual praxia which is also why I can't read coloured maps but can read black and white ones - I get giddy looking at those adult colouring books that are supposed to be therapeutic :S
Strange though because I can see patterns in things, and I can do colour and shapes and patterns, but some things hurt my eyes like this one.
For what it's worth however I agree with deafoldbat about the width of sashing....not that I know anything :P
Love the floating one though <3
-
Oh its going to be floating all the way!
Imself liked the squares when I laid them out like this ....
Cover your eyes JP ....

Do you remember those 'Magic Eye' puzzles that you had to stare at until an image suddenly jumped out at you?
If you stare at that last picture for a while the horizontal stripes suddenly jump forward, and the vertical stripes jump back and it becomes 3d. Incredible! 8)
Really ??? I think thats just you hon xxxx
-
I covered my eyes too, just in case, but it didn't matter because there was no pic anyway. :S
-
Yep, I can see 3D.
-
O
Imself liked the squares when I laid them out like this ....
I agree with Mr Imi and I can see the optical illusion of horizontal stripes coming forwards or going back.
IMO the reason why the floaty squares image works so well is because those squares are all just one piece of fabric, and mostly small overall patterns. Trying to do the same with striped squares will fight with the floating effect.
If you are thinking that not having the sashing etc will make a smaller than desired quilt then just make a few more striped blocks and cut them up. Do that before you join the blocks so that any different fabrics are distributed evently, though randomly, throughout.
-
I agree with Brenda, except that I can't see any 3D or movement effect -<
