Beautiful blocks you have! Really pretty. I would do as SCFQuilter suggested and take them in to a Quilt Shop and let them help you to find a suitable fabric for the sashing. It will be stunning I am sure however you decide to set it together. Thank You for sharing with us. Fabulous Eye Candy for sure!

I agree aboaut going to the quilt shop for help. I might even take a couple of friends along. I can't wait to see what you come up with. The blocks are so cute.

I think a green fabric of that period would be nice to set the garden of flower with. Lucky you on getting these blocks and lucky grandma that you are finishing them! Good luck!

You are doing a great job. I think I would use blue or green of a medium shade and place the blocks on point.
