I've been wondering the same thing. I want to the do the pioneer blocks for my DD and I have 6 fabrics picked out that I would like to use in the quilt. Obviously the blocks wouldn't use all the colors in all the blocks but I want to incorporate all these fabrics into the quilt. Any advise on how much I should buy of each fabric? I was thinking of doing a sashing between blocks and don't know how wide it should be. I was wondering if 4 inch sashing is too wide. I'm also thinking of doing one border as flying geese withthe focus fabric as the background and the geese as each of the different fabrics, then add another wider border. Ambitious I know! Any help would be wonderful. I would like to make this quilt at least twin size, full would be better!
