Joan's & Dena's photoshopped together.

On our Facebook page some seem worried their blocks aren't going to go together as they are working rather blindly one at a time. The group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/441761124005847

They are trusting the designer (Moi?!) to make it all work.

Don't forget my favorite quilts look like this.

But my co-designer Becky Brown is the soul of good taste and balanced design.

Above quilt probably not her favorite.

Becky and the Country Schoolhouse Quilters Blocks 1-9

She set blocks on point with alternating plain squares.

Plus the piano key border to repeat all the fabrics.

A very wide sashing can pull the whole room together.

Perhaps a busy wide sashing

Or an alternate pieced block in one color way to link the sampler blocks.
