I have some fabric in blue , one solid and one is blue and white. I want to make 6 inch squares out of each. I want to know how wide to cut strips of white to cut to put in between the blocks.

for any size square pattern:
everything has to be cut the same size and everything has to be cut 1/2" larger than the finished size you want. so if you want to end up with 6"squares, you have to cut everything 6-1/2" square.

I agree with Kathy.
You can take your cut squares, and line some up on top of your white fabric. Leave a space between them "as the sashing" and play with different widths to find the one that you like best.

I want to thank everyone for the ideas for my quilt.I think instead of the sashing between, I am going to do some white squares. I layed out several ways and seem to like the results of the squares best. You girls are the best. I am just so afraid of doing something new. I can crochet, knit and sew. So I thought I could try quilting.
Thanks again. Carol
Thanks again. Carol
