This quilt started life as an accident. For the first Churn Dash quilt I needed two each of eight blocks, somehow I got carried away and made 2 each of 9 blocks. When I put the first quilt together I was left with two extra blocks and then of course I had to make a couple more to fill out the square. Since this was a second quilt I did not have to use the same sashing, but I guess I decided I rather liked the sashing that I had chosen for the initial quilt, and I think, I hope it will be interesting to see how differently the two quilts turn out despite a their initial similarities.
I tried laying out the next border, wonky triangles on a light background, without a second dark layer of sashing/border like the one I used on the other version, but I decided I didn't much like it.
So, I tried it again with a second narrow dark border. I think that worked better. In the process of adding the extra border ( the one which I have actually sewn on is seen below) I tried flipping the wonky triangles so that the wider, heavier part of the coloured triangles seem to "sit" on the center base block of the quilt. I think this works better.
