sashing and pin curving

My dresdens are proving to be much more pretty with the sashing, don't you think?

As the blocks are much smaller than the original ones, one WOF strip was almost enough for the outer sashing, so instead of sewing them into one long ribbon, I added one or two small pieces of the java fabric to make them long enough.
As you might have guessed, my inspiration came from Flying Blind on a Rocket Cycle's dresden.

I've also managed to pin baste my hexagon park quilt finally.
I don't have a place big enough to do it in my flat, so I ended up in a certain kitchen across the street :) (it was a bit too tricky to do it in their living room, because of the carpet)
For the first few long minutes I was afraid I found the one stage of quilting I didn't like. Then I discovered that it was very easy to bend the safety pins a little, to make them slightly curved and it got surprisingly easier and more pleasurable.
So, it's quilting time - wish me luck, as it's my first big quilt.
