OMG, what was I thinking??? I had to tone this one down!
 

I don't know what came over me but I used bright orange sashing that just overpowered this poor mini!! I finally decided to top stitch some strips down and that seemed to work! Whew!

My first Whirlwind mini was PP but I decided to try this method and, to be very honest, it was quicker but a huge waste of material. Here's my mini "before" and "after" pics and the technique I used. I didn't use a template but you can just use the 45 degree angle on a regular ruler and it'll work fine. Here are the instructions for it.

its beautiful, no toning down needed.

Using the different fabrics make the pattern look different.

Your toning down took the quilt from !!!!! to lovely.

What a perfect solution for to much orange.

It just looks fabulous after it's tone-down!
