I am making my quilt 6 blocks x 7 blocks for a total of 42 blocks with 3" strips and two 3" borders...it will end up to be 93" x 108" doing that. I figured that I would make the 50 state star blocks and it will give me some throw pillows or pillowcases or both. Better too many than not enough for me! LOL! I might even take some and make a mini wall quilt to match.

If you make 50 it doesn't quite work for a quilt. 7 accross and 7 down is 49. I don't want to leave any out so I thought if I made 6 of the combination blocks when I have time as I go then I would have 7 across and 8 down. That seems reasonable to me and I think I can stick 6 more blocks in along the way. Anyone else have a thought on that?
