This was 100 6.5 inch blocks made from 2.5 inch squares. Sashing is 2.5 inches as is the cornerstones. The blocks I made in two days time with off and on again sewing. Everything was cut for the sewing sessions. I then decided I would cut the sashing and cornerstones as I was sewing them together so I would have enough for borders and bias binding. The sewing of the rows together has taken longer because we had the baby yesterday.
My Mother does not like this sashing fabric and actually thought it was ugly, but I think it makes the fabric in the blocks pop because it is more calming. You have to understand my Mother hates brown and gray as colors. To each their own as far as like and dislikes. Chris

Great use of scraps, Chris. This came together quickly. And, yes - we all have our favorites when it comes to colors, prints and textures. That's what makes quilting so much fun - there is so much variety!
i, BEING A LOVER OF BROWNS AND GRAYS, THINK THAT THE SASHING MAKES THE BLOCKS LOOK VERY RICH AND LUSH...NICE PIECE....JULIEROSE
Looks wonderful Chris! I cannot wait to see how you quilt it. Meh, my family doesn't like everything I make either. Doesn't make it right or wrong. How boring would the world be if we all liked the same things? Cannot wait to see what you make next!
