If sashing, did you use a 1 inch sash (to finish at 1/2 inch)? The sashing looks very, very narrow based on an assumed size of the blocks at 4.5 inches. This is really stunning.
I cut the charms in half, sewed the pieces to the black sashing , I think that was 1 inch, not sure though I'D have to look. Then cut the half charm and sashing again, so. It is a 2.5 inch piece with sashing . Had I thought about that before, I might have reconsidered . For this I loved my June Taylor strip cutter.

I worked the whole
thing up in blocks, not rows.
Glad y'all like it. I hope my brother does too
