Anne, your blocks are beautiful and so uniform. Great job.

I put my first block in upper left hand corner in slashing

I like what you have done in the sample, Anne. Very neat, and easy to understand.

I spent last weekend adding my sashing to the 1st 68 blocks I had completed, and making the in between diagonal sashing strips following the suggested layout in the book for the queen size quilt. So far don't see that I'm going to want to change much around, seems to be working colorwise. It's kind of fun to have this framework up on the design wall to put each of the new blocks into & see the added dimensions as it all comes together.

Sorry can't get a full picture, but right now my Lizzie is set up in front of the design wall...

How did you start out? did you sew sashing to the sides first and then sew a long row of sashing together to put them together? this should be a challenge for me, your blocks look really great with the sashing.

Honchey thanks for starting this thread. I really have been looking for sashing fabric ideas.

Hope it helps you out!

Hi All,

I love looking at all of your pictures. Thank you for posting them!
I do have a quick question for you. I have just seen my first set of Marti Michell's templates. I "think" that I have heard them mentioned on this site? If you have used them for the FWS, can you tell me how you have liked them? Thanks for your opinions, and if this isn't a good place to post this question, can you tell me where to put it? Thank you!

JeanieG, that site of putting blocks together looks easy enough I will surely try it. thanks

Jeanie, Your quilt is going to look beeeautiful!! I'm glad I started this page. Anne
