Jaba, I love your quilt, it turned out very nice. The colors look very nice together. Is there a tutorial on the boards to do the Attic Window Sashing? I think I have the 12 in block, I might be able to figure it out. OK back to 1 1/2 inch squares, how did quilters do it before rotary cutters?

clsurz a small group is 16 a large group is the 35 blocks to make. So I will put you down for a large. You have time to change your mind 
Babrgil-send me a PM with your name, address, email addy, weekend phone number & what size group you wish to be in and I will add you to the list.
We have almost one large group and several small groups. I think once we fill the one large group I will close signups and let the swapping begin
Hugs

Didn't have a tute. These blocks measure 12 1/2" unfinished just like for this swap. Out of the black(side) and the tan(bottom) I cut 2" wide by 12 1/2" strips from each color. Then I cut 2 3/8 X 2 3/8" squares of each, sew together 1/4"seam each side of the middle, cut in half, yield 2. Sew black strip to each side, then sew the black and tan square to the tan strip. careful to match the direction of colors, I had to take it out a time or 2, then sew to bottom of your block. Now I'm sewing the rows together. Plan to add a 1 1/2"inner border and 4 1/2" outer border so it should measure out about 78 X 91. Pretty close to a queen size.

I have a question about block size ....
My favorite kind of "sampler block" quilt are those that are made up of different block sizes. Some are 12", some 6", some are square and some are rectangle.
Would it be OK if I were to ask folks to make ANY SIZE block they wanted as long as it FINISHED to a multiple of 3"? A 12" square is still OK - and good - but it would be neat to get a variety of sizes.
