Here's a quick follow up on the Asian theme quilt shown in my last post. The top is finished......naturally being as mathematically challenged as I am I made it difficult for myself by selecting a finished 3/4" width for the red sashings. So as the quilt sections grew, so did the difficulty of cutting accurate sizes sometimes dealing in 1/8" fractions. If I ever do another, I'll plan that better, even though I really think the red sashing is the perfect size.
I'll attempt to post a better quality photo when it's finished!

That sashing and layout are the perfect complement to the Asian fabrics. Often it's worth all the fussing and fitting to get that just right finish! Have fun with the quilting and enjoy the laid back Christmas.
The layout you chose really shows off those beautiful Asian fabrics, it's a really lovely quilt. Sandra-Kay.
The sashing is fabulous, it makes the quilt.
Agreed! The red is a perfect color to show off the other fabrics. Just the thought of dealing with 1/8” cut gives me the Willy’s. Quilting does teach us the art of patience. I’m not doing much for Christmas either which is nice - no pressure or stress. I talk to family on the phone and the rest of the day is my own - yahoo!
I agree that the red sashing is just right. I look forward to seeing the quilting.
Your math was accurate as was your cutting. Beautiful use of those beautiful fabrics!
Such a simple change from traditional sashing. It is what I love about your work. I've framed blocks, sashed with corner stones, even pieced sashings, but the center red sashing line running vertically and horizontally makes the quilt. You feel as though you are looking at a Japanese screen.
I think it looks wonderful and the sashing is perfect.
That turned out SEW elegant looking. Nice work!!
This is beautiful - I just love this setting and think you are so clever to have spotted and adapted it from where you did. Don't let a bit of fiddly math keep you from maintaining the perfect proportions.
