Lyn Brown's Quilting Blog

Isn’t this quilt a trip? This week, we tackle the Sashing and Cornerstones of the Lava Lamps And Love Beads Quilt.

I wanted something to complement the fabric used in the lamp (Batik) portion of the block so I repeated it in narrow rectangles, kind of like Love Beads. We will revisit the Love Beads in the border….

But for now, the sashing is a wonderful flourish around the blocks. I hope you are enjoying this simple, colorful and evocative quilt!
Here is the instructional PDF for the Love Bead Sashing: Note: Cornerstones should be cut 11/4″ not 1 1/2″!!! (Good Eye, Betty!)
