Thank you everyone for the condolences. In a way, it was a blessing, but that'll be some time before you can 'really' think that way. He had been so sick. My sister seems to be holding up okay, but this next week will be hard. Plus today is her birthday and tomorrow is/would have been her wedding anniversary.
Checked on the size of the largest block in the Asian Scrappy Road quilt and it is 8" (not 6" as I guessed).
Attached is a picture of the Quilt of Valor I am working on - it is all stash - and the backing will be from my stash as well, so this one is 100% buster!!! I'm working on sashings and side panels on it - so only the big blocks are finished. I'll work on it again when we return from Atlanta.
