Bless you sadiemae! I am going to put mine here for all that are interested.
Sorry the writing is upside down, but the measurements are in the list.
Shadowed Blocks
50 x 64

from Background fabric
A. Cut 1- 2 ½ x 14½
B. Cut 1 - 2 ½ x 10½
C. Cut 1 - 2 ½ x 5½
F. Cut 1 - 2 ½ x 3½
Center block I
cut 1 - 6 ½ x 6½
from Shadow fabric
D. Cut 1 - 2 ½ x 7½
E. Cut 1 - 2 ½ x 9½
from Frame fabric
H. Cut 1- 2 ½ x 6½
G. Cut 2 - 2 ½ x 8½
B. Cut 1- 2 ½ x 10½

Makes one 14 finished block
Note: yardage amounts are not listed, since this quilt can be made
scrappy or with all identical colored blocks . Ό seam allowance used
throughout. 50 x 64 quilt requires 12 blocks (14finished)
Piece 12 blocks:
Join C & D and E & F. Press seams & set aside until needed.
Build this simple block working log cabin style by joining center block
I & strip H, work clockwise adding G, G & B. Repeat with
background & shadow fabric...starting with strip B, followed by C/D,
E/F & A*. Pressing seams as needed.
Join blocks in 3 vertical rows of 4 blocks.
Borders
1st border of background fabric is only on 2 sides. The right (2 ½ x 56
½) & bottom (2 ½ x 42 ½). To save fabric these lengths can be cut
cross-grain & pieced.
2nd border consists of 2 strips of shadow fabric & 2 strips of background
fabric.
Cut 1 of each size shadow border fabric - 3 Ό x 58 ½(right side)* and
3Ό x 47Ό (bottom edge)
Cut 1 of each size background border fabric- 3 Ό x 47Ό (top edge)
and 3Ό x 64 (left side)
Suggested ideas:
Photo printed blocks in center squares
Assorted I Spy blocks in center squares
*Optional piecing technique: Complete 12 blocks minus section A.
From background fabric cut 4 sashing strips - 2 ½ x 56 ½. Sew 3
vertical rows of blocks separated by background fabric sashing. Stitch
1 strip on right & left sides. Notice this replaces the 1st right border.
