Thats about exactly what I was planning on doing, I was thinking of cutting the bricks about 4-1/2 x 7-1/2", so they would finish 4 x 7, then cut my sashing about 1", so it would finish about a half, does that sound about right on the proportions.....don't want the sashing to overshadow the bricks. This is going to be a lap quilt for grandaughter and is all pink/brown and horses......
