annc Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Hi all I dont post really but enjoy reading and seeing all your pics. coming to the experts for some help =) I am working on an asian style customer quilt, have all the blocks done in sashiko patterns (ugh, never again!), but there are black 1.5" sashings, and I'm at a loss as to what to do with them? Not much room to do much of anything but because they are stark plain black, I feel like it needs something...anyone have any ideas? be most appreciated. thanks!

Antoinette Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I've only done this once before so here goes. BTW I draw much better with a Millinnium than I do with a mouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerriVB Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 hope you can see it in this picture--sometimes it can be called Bamboo--or I sometimes call it French Braid--but it can be done contiunous. I edited the post and tried to draw the design in the border--better with LA than mouse but you can get the general idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annc Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Thank you so very much Antoinette and Terri! Both ideas look similar and I think I can do that freehand maybe making small registration marks to keep things even which will be a real blessing since me and my ruler are tired of each other at this point lol I really appreciate the time you both took to show me and explain, pics are awesome, thank you! Off to get this thing finished up, thxs again ever so much. If I can figure out pic posting I'll try to post a pic when its finsihed, ahhh finished, sounding so good to me right now! lol Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annc Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hi Carol Not on this quilt no, the squares are embroidered so I had to do what seems like a bazillion stops and starts lol I complained loudly and frequently 'this is going to take forever' many times, but finally they are done so I guess forever has come =) at the quiltuniversity website there are terrific directions using some rulers they have designed for continuous sashiko tho, really nice designs that I would have loved to use had this not been embroidered.
