Some time ago, just for fun, I made up a quilt design using small squares, large squares, small rectangles and large rectangles (as you do!). The quilt size is determined by the size of the small square, as all the other components are multiples of it. Later, I was asked to design a collection of patterns that could be sold at our recent exhibition. It was decided that this was not a viable proposition; but someone envisioned the collection of patterns and the quilt design as a whole and questioned whether it could be done as a kind of 'Block a month' quilt. I pondered, and have come up with ways and means. However, with so many pieced blocks, of unequal shapes and sizes, I think it might be just too busy - without any 'resting places'. So, now I am wondering whether a half inch border on every block, using a plainish fabric, would result in a sufficiently unifying/resting sashing. I could probably re-do the drawing of the whole thing, in order to put regular sashing in, but I would prefer to leave it as is, if at all possible.
What do you think?
