My Jacob's Ladder Project # 7B

An update on the dilemmas with my decisions:
The new sashing came in.  After cutting and laying out the new sashing with the old sashing, decided to do one quilt with the old, and the other with the new.  The new sashing is a darker red.
From Bar Harbor collection by Paula Minick
& Laura Simpson for Moda
Birds of a Feather collection by Kaye England licensed  to Wilmingtonprints.com

When I laid them out with a mix, it just didn't look right so put them in the separate quilts:
 

The one on the left has the older sashing and is lighter than the one on the right.  The designs of the 2 sashing fabrics are quite similar and from different manufacturers.

The 4 missing large blocks are being put together and I've decided to make the cornerstone blocks with the red fabric and muslin instead of red and sashing fabric.  Just seems to be the way to go.  Plan to get those cornerstones done today.
