When we first started it two weeks ago I had her add sashing around the nursery blocks to get them up to the 8 inch size the pattern she had called for - and we carefully arranged them so the same characters weren't too close together then planned where the yellow and pink sashings would go to offset the gingham 9 patches. THAT'S the arrangement that was too pink to her - the top row was pink/focus/pink/focus/pink and the next row was focus/yellow/focus/yellow/focus. SOOOO I had her start with her focus - and put the ginghams diagonally - and that helped, but now none of the sashing is next to the gingham it was planned to be next to so those colors make no sense. Our Official Quilty Opinion about that was WHATEVER and we went ahead anyway. I told her that was my main lesson for her - WHATEVER! Do the best you can then let go of the rest.
I learned that here!
