Janet I used 10" blocks with a 6½: border. actually I never ran short on a block but 10½" block would be safer LOL Its at the quilters now and I'll post when its done...

Hi! Actually I think Linda meant to say the 8.5 inch square will work perfectly with the 6.5 template! Linda helped me with this about 6 weeks ago. She suggested that I use the 8.5 inch square. The 6.5 inch template just barely fits in the 8 inch square. The 8.5 square will give a little wiggle room! Thanks for the help on this Linda. It turned out great. :)

gee whiz sorry about that...was cutting 10" sqs yesterday :thumbdown: :thumbdown: need to brain in gear..

well its back from the quilters and she did a terrific job, all over pattern..I have decided to send it to the quilts/of/valor program...have done the pillowcase and its ready to go. I won't add another picture cuz with the maintenance we've had everything is soooo slow. it was alot of fun to do and now thinking about an all over scrappy pastel version...hugs

Beautiful quilt and I like the borders, especially since picking up the yellow in the quilt gives it sparkle. Great job.
