I found that the color on the bottom when cutting has to be on the top when sewing in order to get the seam facing the right way for nesting.

I love seeing everyone's progress and variations. Today, I decided the four patch in the sashing just made everything look too chunky and as I was resewing I decided I didn't like the hourglass blocks in the sashing. This is how I think I will proceed. Note that some of this is sewn together and some is just new stuff laid on top of the blocks.

I have decided I don't like the green, yellow and neutral quarter squares. So did you substitute a green square for those? This quilt is so busy it is hard for me to tell. I like yours and would like to do that as well but not sure if that is what you have done. Sandra

Peggy, I love that green print in your sashing and the dark magenta is so striking against the blues. LOVE it!!

That makes sense, Lisa, about the separation. Hopefully, when it is all put together, it will be cohesive. I don't have the imagination to think up substitutes for pattern units. I kind of wish I had replaced the 4-patches in the centers with solid color fabrics. I've got too much already sewn together to make any changes now.

I finished sewing the last of the blocks today and got everything up on the wall. Now to decide how to sew the rows together. I've been reading everyone's comments on how they are doing it and need to decide which method will work best for me. After it "marinates" on the wall for a couple of days, I'll take another look at everything to make sure it's all where it should be and then start sewing again. I'm so ready to finish this quilt so I can work on other projects on my to-do list.

I just have about 40 somthing qst blocks to make. All my sashing strips are made, and all the 4 patch / hst corners that make up the corners of the blocks are put together. If I can get enough done to take to work w/ me Sat I can get a good group pic of them laid out.
