Find the largest block, add a narrow sashing to it...make sure it's "squared" up (measures correctly). This square gives you the needed size for all other squares. You can combine two smaller squares, using a narrow sashing between, if they will equal this size when they have an outter sashing. When all the blocks are sashed and measure the same size, join them. you can use a different color outter sashing to seperate the blocks, or you can let them seem to "float" on the sashing (sashing becomes a background).
There are some good pics on webshots.com

The smallest is 13 inches, the largest is 16. Each shirt has at least 1/2 inch on each side (pattern to pattern). I plan on using sashing in between the rows, but for some reason I can't wrap my brain around this.

Am I doing this right?

Anyone???
