Someone asked for a picture of the back of the quilt. Also putting the blocks together is done with a sashing of 1 1/8 inch on the backside and 1 3/4 folded in half on the front. Quilt your block sandwich and then on the left side of the block attach the backside sashing right sides together with the folded sashing raw edges together to the front. Sew this with a scant 1/4 inch seam. Grab your next quilted block and sew the back sashing to the next block. Lay this out flat and iron over the front sashing to cover the gap between the blocks and sew this with a top stitch close to the edge. Do the same thing with each block and then attach rows the same way. I'm not good with explaining things so you might not be able to visualize this. I watched a QAYG with Susan Claire and she is great explaining it as she goes along. You can make the sashing as wide as you want within reason. I narrowed this one because I liked the smaller look.

Live the bright colors. I have done many string quilts this way but since I am starting to quilt my own quilts, this seems like a great way to go. If the stitching does not turn out, it is a block and not a whole quilt.
