January Block
I had finished the January Block awhile ago but I've been playing with some different sashings..
I think I like just one fabric for all sashings sew Michelle's lovely designs stand out.
What do you think ??
I think you need to do what you like...You are right that the blocks are not swamped by the borders...but on the other hand I have loved using small pieces of my Christmas stash...so there you go - no help at all!!!
Looks good, I like using the same fabric, too. I noticed in the book, that the cottage is bordered by a light fabric where the others were a red. Sammie
The blocks certainly look good with just one fabric. Would you use the one on the entire quilt or a few different? I’m really no help, as the quilt looks great with all versions.

Lovely blocks Maria. If you go with this fabric, it is gorgeous!
