It tells how much border, setting ideas and sashing needed for 9 inch blocks. No guessing needed.
After much thinking, I decided to make it easy on myself and make the 12" blocks. If I hang in for a full year and make all 50 blocks I'll go all out and do pillow shames, a bed runner and dresser & nightstand scarfs. 12" covers a lot of territory so accessorizing with the extra blocks would give a room a pulled together look and give me something to do with all those blocks!!!
