I think it looks great. Not sure what you are seeing. It is a fun table topper. Thanks for sharing.

Without having it right in front of me with a ruler I don't see the problem. Plus, I don't really think any imperfections would show up with all of the bright colors. I love the bright colors!!!

I like that idea of using the same fabric in the corner stone.

Not sure if anyone else posted this tip, but it's how I get my sashings perfect when not using cornerstones.

First step is to join the blocks into rows with sashing. Second step is to sew the long sashing strip onto the bottom of a row. Here's the tip. Before joining the next row to the sashing strip, turn the first row with sashing strip to the wrong side and use a pencil and ruler to mark all of the block seams onto the long sashing strip. When joining the next row, pin that row's seams to the marked pencil lines on the sashing, easing wherever necessary. This will keep your blocks aligned from row to row.

Edit: This technique works whether you sew rows first or columns first. Just apply the pencil marks to the long sashing strip.

Great topper :lol: At this point I would leave it as is and make a small hem :shock:

Before you sewed the long sashing, did you measure across the center of your row? Sometimes it makes a difference. If you just did the math of how long the sashing "should" be then your actual measurements can throw it off.

I can't see the concern either! :-)

I attach my sashing to the right side of each block as I make them. Then, my long strip is on the horizontal instead of the vertical. In the big scheme of things, I doubt if this makes a difference.
