Hello. loving loving your videos. The sashing depends on the look you are going for. The gray makes the geese pop more. If you want the geese to be less prominent, go with the blue. So what effect do you want, only you can know if you want the geese to be prominent or not, whichever way you choose will be fab for this quilt. Sew looking forward to your future videos, I am an addict, just did a Pat Sloan video binge and watched all your videos from 2018 to present day, was a fab way to spend the last several weeks during these trying times, take care, stay safe.
Love the blue! Purchased my first Baby Lock yesterday and am SOOOO excited to get it unboxed and set up! I’ll be retired by the end of the month and this was my present to myself. I got the Lyric model and can’t wait to get started. The saleslady asked if I have ever watched your vidoes and of course I have and told her so. I told her that was why I was at her store – they carry Baby Lock. So we discussed the Pat Sloan daily video and how we watch them every day! Thank you!
The grey, as there is so much blue in the blocks
Blue!
The quilt on my bed is the first quilt I ever made in 1982. It was a quilt class I
took. It was cut out by hand with templates, pieced together by hand. Then we had a wooden frame where we put a finished block, batting & backing together and then
hand quilted it. When each block was quilted then we put sashing between and joined
it together in rows. It is a sampler quilt. I have always been quite proud of it.
Since then I have made all my quilts by machine but the first one was a great
experience. Enjoy all your videos & sewalongs.
Hi Pat I like the gray sashing.
Dear Pat: I love the blue sashing! It makes the quilt pop! I’m still way behind on everything, but am plugging along trying to get projects completed. The two Shih Tzu puppies will be a year old on April 19th and they are a handful! I’m working on two backings now. One for my Jelly Snowflake quilt and another for my Winter’s Frost quilt. Bindings are completed. I have to measure and sew the backings, then make the quilt sandwiches and then off to Topstitchery in Roberts, WI where I rent one of Jean’s machines and do the topquilting. Your new hairdo looks fabulous! Roxy in Hudson, WI
Love the fabric in that block. Is it all Morrison Park?
I like the blue stripe and the grey top of the flying geese lol 😂
Thanks for all you do, I’m loving Home Is
Hi, Pat. Love the blue sashing! The quilt on my bed is my mother’s last quilt she was working one before she died in 1987, a Lemoyne Star. She had hand pieced almost 15 1/2 squares. Several years later I finished hand stitching the ones she had cut, so I had 16 squares. Once I sewed those together with sashing and corner stones, it was big enough to fit the top of my queen sized bed. I added a muslin border and a piano key border out of her fabrics she was using for the quilt to make it big enough to go down the sides of my bed. Then I hand quilted it in a cross hatch quilting design. The quilt is folded and stays at the foot of my bed every day. I take it off at night and put it back in the morning. It’s one of my treasures!
The quilt on our bed is one made by our daughter (with a little help from her sister and a friend) for our 40th Wedding Anniversary. It is a blue and yellow floral in log cabin design. It was a complete surprise. I love the times that she and I can sew together. When the pandemic is over and I can have someone come and help me, maybe I can send pictures! For ever and ever, Pat Sloan, you have my thanks for all you offer us. You are a generous, honest, real person.
The grey is nice but I would change the prints. I would try the grey with the blue flowers in the vertical piece & the grey stripe at the top. Just my 2 cents. 😉 I love the quilt on my bed as my husband bought it at the Kutztown Festval in PA. It was made by a young Amish girl from NY. Going to the Festival was a 1st excursion after a year of breast cancer treatments & surgery. There were so many quilts to admire & then to be told to select one was such a nice surprise. It has kept us warm every winter since.
Grey. Makes it easier on the eye.
Gray sashing is a good break from too much blue—gives a better distribution of color.
I like the grey sashing- it makes the blue flying geese pop!
Good morning Pat. I definitely prefer the grey!
Good morning Pat, I really like the blue sashing !
I’m leaning towards the grey sashing … but either look great!
Hi Pat! I like the blue sashing! Thanks for doing a video everyday! I love it! Have not missed one!,,
