I now have the inside assembled with sashing, cornerstones and setting triangles.
Many have asked what color I was going to use for the setting triangles.
I decided on another Kona solid, opting for a lighter blue.
Why?
Because I had a piece large enough in my stash, and I liked how the colors played together.
*remember, one of my goals in making this quilt was to use fabric only from my stash :)
This really has been a scrappy quilt, using somewhat the same process our grandmothers used when they made quilts.
I didn't have clear idea of how the finished quilt would look when I started.
I just jumped in, started making blocks with left over scraps and hoped it would all come together in the end.
I like this quilt even MORE now that the inside is complete .
Next, I will be auditioning some fabrics for the outer border.
I still have enough of the darker blue originally used for the sashing.
What do you think?

I am loving the scrappiness of this quilt! It is beautiful!
Looks great and I love that you used sashing fabric from your stash. That shows very good discipline. I don't think I could do that! VBG!
Looks absolutely fabulous!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.. I am seriously considering making it.. your colors really bring it to a modern edge with traditional blocks!
WOW!!!
love how it is looking!!

It's beautiful! I really like the idea of using the same sashing fabric for the first border. It will really frame the quilt. I love the use of stash too!
Very nice job. I love how the sashing and setting triangle colors work well together.
Nedra, this is SO beautiful! I'm so impressed. Even more so since it's a stash quilt. Love it!
Wow, wow, wow, it looks awesome and good for you making great use of the stash too.
fabulous!
i love that you stuck to your goal of only using what's in your stash.
it looks great.
I think using the same dark blue for the outer border is a good idea. The quilt is colorful and scrappy enough without introducing another color element at this point. The blues in the current sashings calm the quilt down and give it a cohesive feel.
I this it is wonderful!
I love it,the colors are gorgeous together!!! Good for you for using your stash. I had to put mine on hold for a little while..... Yours is the first finished one in the sew along and it is beautiful.
I really like the way this quilt is looking Nedra. I agree the same fabric as the sashing would be good for the border. Congrats on using stash!
breathtaking, I'm so impressed, and inspired, this is another lifetime achiever
