    Thank you! It's so nice of you to say so...however, I must give the credit to the designer...her method and instruction were the difference. And, this is the first time I used Best Press on all my fabrics BEFORE cutting...it really did make a difference...so much easier to work with fabric that has some body. Again, thank you!

    Did you have much waste? Or did you use all of the FQ's?

    Actually, I used the first trims and leftovers to make smaller blocks...5"unfinished...that have dark frames instead of light frames... and there's still some to work with. The trim from the smaller blocks will yield a 1"unfinished halfsquare if you're as crazy as I am and sew them up....heehee. You'll end up with some nice scraps...at least a 6"square of each...maybe more...I've done some cutting and playing with mine so hard to be more specific.
    The pattern actually calls for 2.75 yds of asst lights and 2.25 of asst darks ....this makes the blocks and the sashing and setting squares.
    Yes, every fq of the gift plus the additionals previously mentioned were used. Hope this helps.
