Framing the Blocks

I have been working on this Amish quilt kit all week for my Mom. (She purchased it from the Keepsake Quilter catalog.)  I started really loving it when I began framing the blocks with the different colors paired with black sashing strips.  The instructions in this kit are excellent and it's going together beautifully.  I don't usually like kits but I have to say I never would have put some of these colors together on my own, yet I'm loving the way it's turning out.  In fact using ALL solids is a stretch for me! This is one kit I am learning a lot from!
