Welcome from central Michigan! Your English language skills are way better than my Spanish!

Here's another Tennessean checking in. Welcome. You will find this board a wonderful place to get ideas from. The idea of sashing each block to make them the same size is a good one. You can use a piano key border of various shades of red, green, and gold to enlarge the size of the quilt. But, hey, a wall hanging would be fine to make just for the sentimental value of the girls. By the way, your use of the English language is great (from a former English teacher of 38 years). Have fun and let us see more photos as you progress.

Welcome from Idaho! Tough one. The thought of additional colors? I would audition some soft or muted shades? See what is pleasing to you. That is definately not MY strongsuit! But you are right. This is a very helpful board and if you follow along you will learn a lot!

Hi and welcome from the state of Massachusetts! Great ideas here, can't wait to see which one you choose or go off on your own and borrow some of the suggestions.
