Thanks so much. It was fun and so fast to piece...I think it only took me about four hours to stitch together!
It's a shadowbox quilt. I saw similar ones on Pinterest, and figured out the measurements based on the size of the quilt I was attaching it to, (5"x15" blocks, 1-1/2" wide shadows, and 2" sashings). Obviously my math needs a little to be desired, because the top and bottom borders are significantly narrower than the sides, lol.
One difference in mine is that in the top right and bottom left corners of each focus block, I added a HST of the sashing fabric so that the "shadows" actually connect with the corners of the blocks. Most of the ones on Pinterest have a square of the background fabric in those corners instead, and the blocks look like they are floating.
