Thanks for sharing. Method sounds easier than how I have been doing it.

It's a S&W variation, I think, uses 4 pieces for the block instead of 6 or 8. It's called Florentine Fantasy, and is a free pattern available here: http://www.robertkaufman.com/quiltin...ntine_fantasy/
Click "download more info" to the right.

The hardest part is choosing the perfect fabric. The second hardest part is lining up and cutting out. After that, everything is a snap!

Peggy, this is gorgeous! Your color choices are just beautiful. I've already printed out that pattern. Can't wait to make one. What's the name of the fabric you used in this quilt? I have a hard time deciding which fabric will work in these. I'd like to see what your fabric looked like before you cut it, if you still have a piece.

A little uneven gives the quilt extra interest! Some of my quilts have lots of extra interest! froggyintexas

There is an easy way to apply sashing and have it come out even. I know I saw is on the qb some time ago, but you know how senior moments work. Can someone help me, please? Thanks Marge L.

I don't know the name of the fabric, that quilt isn't mine, it was made by a friend. I was using it as an example because I don't have pics of mine yet. However, I do know that my friend used an Asian print. Here is a pic of a matching pillow she made with the same fabric, maybe it will help. I'll ask her if she remembers what fabric it was, also.

She does call it sashing the easy way and it may be where you saw it.

Thanks so much ladies for this post. Not a day goes by that I don't learn something new from QB.

That's the only way it has worked for me.
