My ALYOF March Goal:
[Edit: When I took this out and started really looking at how much I had done ... and how much more I have to do ... and the fact that I have not even made a decision about the fabric for the sashing posts, I have had to face the reality of the fact that this goal is unrealistic. My goal now is just to make a decision about the sashing posts and to make progress on this top. I was no where near being ready to piece the top. In fact, I have several steps that need completing.]
These fabrics were first seen on my blog Here
Then they were seen Here
Then they disappeared and became a mysterious UFO
flying around my sewing room and disrupting the force.
For my
ALYOF March Goal I want to complete make progress on this top!
Here is the long story ...
This quilt started as a mystery last fall. I opted to go scrappy and use some Kona Solid 10" swap squares in my stash with gray yardage. I like my colors and fabrics but at I got to a place where I started struggling with how my scrappy fabrics were working in this pattern so I put it to one side to "think about it" and the next thing I knew, other projects kept lining up ahead of it. I really want to finish this quilt.
Since the mystery weekend is long over, I have looked at the whole top.
I am back at the place where I left off!
No closer to making a decision!
All my HST are sewn.
I have started to add the medium gray solid sashing.
I need to make a decision about the small square posts in the sashing.
(2) rusty red posts
(3) scrappy posts
Black posts are not an option. I have already ruled that out.
I tried it and it did not like the effect at all.
I tried it and it did not like the effect at all.
I am planning to eliminate the narrow inner border in the pattern and add only a wide medium gray plain border.
If you would like to help me decide, all feedback is welcome.

I like the rusty red. :-)
I really like the rusty red too Pat! sigh~ I haven't finished this one either!!
I like scrappy...and I'm not usually going for scrappy!
I really like the light gray! It has a sort of transparency effect and the coloured triangles really shine.
