The sashing fabric for my Stepping Stones quilt is a custom hand dyed fabric by Vicki Welsh. I have her gray to black gradation and described the area that I thought would work and it came out perfect. Grouting in stepping stones wouldn't be jet black, it would be softer like a charcoal so that is what I wanted. I hope you can see the mottled look. It really is hard to photograph it.
I got a few strips sewn in last night and it is perfect. The top right block has both strips sewn in. In this quilt I used batiks, Kaffe Fassett prints and hand dyed fabric. They all work well together.
My other project with the triangles has hand dyes left over from the Streak of Lightning zig zag quilt that I made last year along with Kaffe fabric, and maybe I'll add the black and white prints.
Maybe I'll use the umbrella fabric. I like busy quilts........the hand dyes look great with the Kaffe prints. They are from Vicki's Stash Packs where you get a great variety.
