Advice needed for finishing quilt

Hi All:

Thanks for all the great ideas and for the kind words. I decided to
"square up" each of the blocks using the same fabric as in the shirt.
That was a great idea because I had no idea what I was going to do
with the rest of the fabric.

I also love Butterfly's suggestion about the "fallen" shirt. It
actually suits him because he is the worlds biggest slob and will
always be. So, a shirt on the "floor" will suit his quilt nicely.

If you want to see what the blocks look like "squared up", go to
http://mardiweb.com/quilts/hawaii_new.jpg.

I think I am going to use the white material for sashing now and
probably finish it with a solid color border of some kind.

Again, thanks for the ideas and all the kind words.

I thought that was a great idea when I read it, and it looks great! and
I would definitely sash with the white. maybe choose one fabric to do
squares where the sashings meet... something with red since there is so
much green, blue and yellow? baticky or ferny or marbly?

Mardi, they look great! I especially like the "twin peaks" on the volcano
shirt!

oooooo, very nice and the shirts remain the focal point! I like it with
no sashing and the corners creating a diamond block as a secondary pattern
that doesn't take away from the shirts at all. But, I can't wait to see
what it looks like with white sashing also! I don't think you can go
wrong!

gee.... I'm thinking... you can probably just sit the blocks on a large
piece of that fabric and separate them and it will give a real good
imitation of how it will look with the sashing.
