    I'd SITD the sashing and do a medium size meander in the blocks. I find working block by block easier than an allover meander. You have a right to be proud. Post a completed picture, please.

    You did a fabulous job on this quilt, I really love the fabrics. I would try stitching in the ditch. This quilt looks really easy to do for outline stitching too.

    I believe the pattern is San Francisco Window Boxes- I really like the pattern : it showcases the fabric - beautiful quilt!

    It's perfect for a college student. Very nice! If you have done a table runner, you can do a quilt by treating each block as a separate entity. Do SITD or stitch 1/4" from the seam line to secure the quilt, then FMQ a motif or a medium size meander in each block. I find this much easier than an allover meander.
