It might have been a crazy idea but I thought it was worth trying … and I like  the results of using sashing as the design feature in quilts, rather than the blocks.

I made the sashing wider than normal in most of the designs, and added some insignificant block designs.. The rest of the space  is open space for quilting.

I might have to add colour, and instead of the applique blocks use whole fabric blocks with  interesting designs.

Note that the fine sashing in the second design is used as the final border in the first design.
