These are the quilt blocks I told you about a while ago.

Not being able to go anywhere made me pull the stash out and finish what I had started over a year ago.

There was a method to the madness when I started it, now if anyone asks I'm going to blame it on social distancing!

I need to figure out what color sashing I want to use to bring it all together.

Color for the binding? If so........I vote for white. Lots of beautiful colors already......needs a neutral.

Black will frame it and make the colors pop.

I'd pull from the colors used. My thinking would be black, charcoal or that pretty fresh green... Personally, I'd opt for the green...

I've been quilting a lot as well. This morning I finished a twin size, and now I'm half way through a crib quilt. Most of mine go to the humanitarian center but I make one for me and one for the kids each year.

On yours, I'd probably do a white or off white for the sashing and that darkest color for the binding.

@CelticCrafter , how nice! It is the perfect time for such a project.

For the binding, I would use black or green...probably green as @stevieb suggested, depending where in my house I was going to place it.

Don't forget to show us the finished product! LM

I'd opt for a soft blue or a soft periwinkle. I just think a dark color would be too bold for the softness of the colors here.
