I had made roughly 0.6 of the units each week. That was slightly too many for a 3 x 4 block layout, but not quite enough for a 4x4 layout. So I made a few more of everything to work for the 4x4 layout. I used yardage rather than stringing, so my sashing units are solid rather than stringed, but I am including them.
As I started assembling, I will admit it was a bit overwhelming, but I'm just focusing on one row at a time and it is coming together nicely. I'm on the fence about the outer border - I don't have strings, so it'll either be solid, or I'll just stop at the thin green border.
