Waaaay back in July I shared a block tutorial for the scrappy New England block. The wonderful women in the Imagine circle for Do. Good Stitches made all of these lovely, scrappy blocks and I recently finished up the quilt.
I went back and forth on what to do for the sashing. My original plan was to use green scrappy strips as the sashing, but when I got everything up on my design wall the scrappy greens were way too overpowering and the reds, oranges and yellows got lost. I swapped the green strips out for white and used green scraps as the posts. Much better!
I added a bit more green in the form of a scrappy green binding, which ended up being my most favorite part of the quilt. I wish I could keep this one!
The backing is this yellow print which I found on sale at my LQS - love a great deal!
Now the quilt gets it's DGS label and it'll be boxed up and sent off to Threading Hope!
Love love love it!!
