The 9 patch side pieces are each 4" so 4"x 3 x 3 sqs. = 12" by 12", minus the 1/4" seam on all 4 sides. The sqs on the back side of the quilt were cut to match the front dimensions.

I'm curious what exactly you didn't like about the sashing on the QAYG. I'm planning to do one in the near future and I have some doubts about the sashing. I guess I can't get it clear in my head, and I hate to get the quilt just about done and then find out I don't like the way it turned out.

I don't like them being so narrow, but before I knew what I had done I had trimmed my batting too short and so the sashings had to be too narrow for my liking. Personal preference there. I also am not crazy about how the stitching on the back "sashings" went. I wanted it to be all done on the machine, tho- no hand sewing, so I made it work, but next time I will try something different.

There is a good tutorial on this site about QAYG with no hand sewing. It was very helpful to me.

It was a good quilt to learn on, as the recipient would love it good, bad or ugly. LOL! I'm looking forward to giving it to her next week.
