I am such a visual learner that your tutorial was amazingly simple to understand! Thank you so much for taking the time not only tell us but to show us in all of those pictures! Hugs Hugs and more Hugs.

WOW1 That's beautiful! I've been selling my stash, (need money and room) but I may rethink what to do with some of my smaller pieces.

I love scrappy quilts and this is a stunner. I often use this method of piecing together quilt as you go. However I do have problems getting the "sashing" ie connectors to line up when I sew the strips together. Your is so precise, do you have any tips on how to line them up. If the connector strips are high contrast as in yours, misalignment really stands out.

THANKS for this! I actually tried a couple of blocks after you showed yours....I did it! I love it, so now I just have to keep going! I love the fact that it's all quilted when you're done....thanks again!

The only advise I can give you there is to match and pin. It's the only part of the quilt I pinned. I hate to use pins because I always end up sticking myself a few times....ouch!! If you look, and your sashing is a contrasting color, you can see it between the layers....Wish I could give you more help!
