I considered making another bag with these wild crazy patchwork blocks, but they want to be a quilt.
I put some different fabrics from the UFOs bin with them to see what might work as sashing for the blocks. Black and dark green were just too dark for me. This blue batik tempted me, but batik fabric is difficult to hand stitch, so I nixed that.
In the end I chose two calico cottons from the bin, both a medium blue (my camera didn't want to show their true color, so I fiddled with the color adjustment on the computer). According to the tags they hail from 1998, when quilting cottons were $2.99 a yard. So that was what I used to make the quilt last month. :)
