I am proud to present the last block of my Neon Pink quilt…
This pattern was fun to make and I think reflects a couple of the other blocks already in the quilt. You can find a free copy of the pattern I designed here…WQ Atomic Star block.
So now all of the neon blocks are done and all that is left to do is the maths for the sashing – made a little complex because the blocks finished up at 12 1/2 inches and 11 inches. In the beginning when I decided to make some friends for the two 11 inch PMQG orphan blocks I found, I did not realise I was making the maths harder. Augh….
I am sure it will be worth it in the end but for now I have my calculator and some graph paper out to see how to make this sucker work. Wish me luck!
WOMBAT QUILTS 
So pretty! 🙂
Love the block! Maybe those smaller blocks need a small black “accent border” to bring them out to 12 1/2?? Quilt looks great. Looking forward to seeing how you “solve” this dilemma. :o)
Oh that is an interesting idea… I now have more ideas to play with. Thanks.
I love the block in the bottom left corner! Does that one have a pattern? Can’t wait to see how you bring it all together.
Jennifer… the block you are talking about is one that I designed… actually all the blocks on that bottom row are my patterns. I will make sure they are all in the “free paper piecing patterns” link.
Very cool quilt. Your piecing is beautiful!
Oh, that’s one’s easy. Sashing, done log cabin-wise, with different fabric for each strip so it looks like part of the paper piecing. I love the way the photo shows pink reflections off all that neon, like it’s lighting up the surface you’ve placed them on!
Kate is that a very eloquent way of saying this quilt is loud?…
That wasn’t my intention, although you have to admit it’s not exactly shy and retiring! No, I was actually admiring the neon glow of the thing, or perhaps that should be radioactive…?
Too funny.
I especially like the two upper left blocks. How about white with pink dots for a border around the gray blocks (they are the smaller ones, right?) Or maybe on two sides of each.
The pink and white dot would be a great solution… if only I had more of it. This quilt has been made using bits a pieces left over from a Guild challenge last year… I added the grey fabric but was challenging myself to finish it with what I had.
Such constraints are really fun (though challenging) to work with! Watching for decision…
Wow, what an amazing group of blocks–I can’t pick a favorite! I love the neon pink. Looking forward to seeing how you finish it up!
They are so pretty! You don’t see many pink quilts for adults. Can’t wait to see it finished!
Erica I must admit that this quilt will be going to charity and will probably end up on some kid/teenagers bed. I am only hoping they like Neon pink!
these are so amazing!
IIRC some of PMQG’s earlier block challenge quilts navigated this problem by sashing two sides of each block and then squaring up each block to the a new standard size. Ohh I have another idea that I will try to draw up and share.
This sounds like a great solution. Thank you so much.
I love all of these blocks so much! My Sugar Block Club blocks finished slightly off, and I sashed them all up to the same size. It worked out quite nicely…
Those colours are insane! I love it! 😀
Insane is the perfect word for it.
That’s quite a bit of tricky seam matching you have managed there!
There is more tricky fun to come, I think, in getting these all the same size and into a top.
