Simply beautiful, I hope you don't mind if I borrow you layout. I love how the blocks look in your quilt top.

Borrow away. I got the idea from givio. The hard part was the setting triangles. Bonnie Hunter has a page on how to figure the size to cut. But you have to include the sashing in the measurement. Then I just used the size of a regular queen quilt and kept adding borders.
I had two blocks left over out of my 20. I am making pillow shams. I also had some badly sewn rejects and I will put that with the pillows.
The sashing was cut 1 1/2 inches. I used the darker green for the framing border. That one will end up on the edge of the mattress. The dark green was either 2 1/2 or 3 ??? and the outer off white was 10 1/2.
When you get all the setting triangles in, then you need to trim off any excess. You will need (hard and fast rule) one quarter inch of WOW surrounding the sashing points. I have an extra long ruler and I just put it from point to point and trimmed.
