Oh my, Meanmom---that is beautiful and no wonder you won at the Fair. I wish I'd have seen yours before--I really like the consistent background with the scrappy blocks. It's bright and cheery but all pulled together so nicely by the background and sashing. Is your sashing pieced or striped fabric? Toverly and I are having trouble trying to decide how to tie our scrappy blocks together and this is a great way. Well done!!
