Me! I think that is a great use of fabric. We are going to cut it up anyway. I love how beautiful & stained glass window-like they are! An old saying is "Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without."

I've made one of these quilts...a king-size for my first try and it came out beautifully. I too had trouble visualizing the sashing so I contacted the author and she did a video on YouTube for me then she sent me a sample. She's wonderful!

It is called "Crazy Shotcut Quilts" by McManus and Raffuse.
The instructions for connecting the squares was confusing, I really need to see videos to get the concept. I know it calls for separate sashing strips for the front and back but how to connect them I did not understand. The book uses fat quarters cut up to make large blocks.
