2nd PC block, A Dandy. I showed it to my husband and he loved it. He thought it looked like the medals that Kings and Queen wear. So, another gloomy block that he liked. Most of my plaids are greens, blues, browns, and blacks. Why don't men wear pink, yellow, or orange plaid shirts? :-p I can't imagine how gloomy this quilt will be! I do have some red plaid though that can liven it up. I am going to sash the blocks with red as I go-- I have a yard of red plaid. If I cut it into 1 1/4" sashes (raw, 3/4" finished), will it be enough? I have a bit of golden/mustard color plaid that I'll use for cornerstones.
