. . . on my current 4-Patch Wonder quilt. The second set of sashing strips has been added to my blocks, and here the blocks are arrayed in their final position ready to be sewn together in diagonal rows:

I moved only two blocks — switching the second and third ones in the third row — before proclaiming the setting complete. Now the big decision is what fabric to use in the setting triangles — the ones that go around the entire quilt to make it rectangular.

My two top candidates are the yellow fabric I initially chose for the wide sashing, which I think may draw out the yellow background in the 4-Patch Wonder blocks very nicely, or the royal blue used in the wider sashing strips. My fear is that the blue will be too strong. I’m going to sacrifice a 15″ square of each fabric and cut them into four triangles to audition them side by side, and then I’ll report back. Do come back to see what I chose!
