If you want, I could draw a picture on Tues. to help explain it better. This is a great way to use up some scraps, too. It would also mean that each block would measure 12".

I like that idea too...Everyone has such clever ideas.

I wouldn't want to sash mine. When the blocks are put together, they would form a secondary design, with diamonds at each block edge.

Ok, I'm confused -- what does sash mean? I'm not that experience quilter - in fact, I just sew from a pattern and go from there.

goldendog55 -- I LOVE your block idea!!!I might just have to borrow that one.... :D :thumbup:

It is from an old Quick Quilts magazine- can't take credit for it.

Sashing is the material that goes between the blocks to separate them.
