I was using the white blocks as a sort of sashing to seperate some 25 patch blocks as a way to use up some of my smaller scraps. I hate to tear them out and start over with a different color. Help!!!

perhaps you could go cut your blocks back out of his quilt? I mean they are yours, right? Then he'd never take any of your blocks again...... okay.. perhaps NOT!
humm... that was my best idea.... and it was a poor one at that. oh well.. let us know what you decide to do.

So, I guess, he thought they were fair game. I really should have put them in a bag and marked them as mine. Hind sight is 20-20. I like the idea of changing the sashing color. That might work. Any more suggestions?

IMHO -- Why start up a mess?! It's done. Look for a close match to the white or follow one of the above ideas. I know it's disappointing, but is it worth the hassle? Good luck!
