I set the strip for row 9 beside the rest of the block that is sewn so far. So close!
I’ve also started thinking about the sashing strips that will be added between the blocks. Originally I was thinking a slightly darker cream/beige color, as Bonnie recommends in her pattern. But then I got to thinking that Bonnie made her quilt in browns and creams. And the sashing strips are right beside a mostly brown outer edge of the block. The quilt I’m making is greens and creams. Would it look better with a light (sage-olive) green? I’ll have to think on that a little more, but I’m leaning that direction.
