I measured the block and used this measurement as my target size for the rest of the blocks. I just adjusted the width or the sashing for each of the t-shirt pieces, sometimes using more than one sashing for each t-shirt piece in different colors to get to the size I needed to get to my target size. I used all kinds of colors for the sashings in all the blocks. She loved it. She used it all through college and still has it on her bed.
Ok...that makes since to me! Thank you!!!!!
