I think it's beautiful. Love the way it works with the sashing strips in between.
I'm making 2 now and the directions do not call for strips between columns. Directions call for trimming the sides (and stay stitch if desired) JUST before sewing the strips together because everything is on the bias.
Hmmmmm will have to think about strips though.
Thanks for posting - let us know when it's 'done marinating'.
