Fresh of the ironing board

Here is Chocolate Marshmallow Sampler top all finished.  I'm probably going to chicken out sending it out to be quilted and will just do an allover big stipple.  I looked at one of my older quilts done this way and all washed it looks and feels vintage and comfy so I think that will be perfect for this quilt.  I've just gone an added another border from the shot that was on instagram earlier this week.  I wanted the centre and sashing to look like it is floating and of course I ran out of the Pat Sloan plaid circa 2005 I used.  On the way home I zipped to the Hetties  and found some fabric which blends pretty well with the sashing.

I'll post instructions to finish the quilt my way on or around the 15th.  

Individual blocks will continue to remain for sale in my Etsy shop however I will make it into one pattern at a later date.

I really like the dark sashing and the stars-- very cool!

Very pretty, I like the dark brown border and sashing. Unfortunately, I don't have enough dark brown to make that work, but I've been playing around in EQ on a potential layout, but I'm not there yet.
