My quilt is not yet finish I just want to show it to you all. All the designs are from emblibrary. I tried the black and see how the embroidery will show up . I still have a long way on how to make it totally align ( I'm not a quilter just one of those trying hard ones) I have a question what color will be good for my sashing . Your suggestion is well appreciated.

I'm a quilter and the sashing is the thin strips of green you have around the yellow blocks. Do you mean the binding? Binding is the final small 2in-to 2 1/2in fabric on the edge. I always encourage people to put a binding in a color that will stop the eye from traveling. Dark colors stop the eye. I would do the binding a darker shade of the green you have. I would also, encourage your quilter to stitch little birds though out the borders and blocks.
A tremendous amount of work and so colorful. If your a beginner, I can just imagine you in about 5-10 years. Very beautiful work

Love the stitchouts! Sashing could be a print that had the same yellow and green colors in it that you are already using.

Waaauw these colours look great on black. I too think the sashing should be the same green as you have used. Beautiful as I love colours

You have done some really lovely designs. You will need to just lay down some fabric and audition if for your other colors, but if you mean at the top, I'd stay with the same green you have used on the sides.
