Let me begin by saying this... I am not a traditional quilter. Now my question. I want to turn these blocks into a king size quilt for our bed. Other than sewing all the blocks in rows and columns, or sticking sashing between the rows and columns, what else makes a big quilt look special? 6 blocks X 6 blocks is about a 6' square. Add a border and that is big enough? Add too much between and it drags the floor, creeps off the bed, wanders down the hallway??? How are YOU going to make your blocks into a quilt?

Remember my fabric is the rose, purple, green , gold, beige floral print. I found a complimentary fabric, same pattern only in rows. I bought that thinking it would be sashing. I also bought way too much of the original fabric, so I think I have enough of that for the backing.

hugs, Jupiter
