Thanks ladies, I'm going to do a combination of these. I'm going to start at the middle of the innermost block and SITD down and lock the stitches then skip over the sashing as ManiacQuilter2 mentioned and continue then turn and do the horizontal lines the same way. I don't want a full line of stitches along the sashing, I'd rather see the squares pop. I'll let you know how it comes out when I've finished. I do appreciate your input so much!
