Yes, the wide sashing was a unique QAYG technique. I followed this ladies methods:

one of the sashings is double (folded) and I chose to make the cotton muslin this sashing rather than the sashing on the back because the muslin is a tad thinner than the quilters cotton

This isn't just a quilt, it's a love bomb. There is so much joy and happiness represented in each block. How blessed you are to have such fond memories of life and family, and it truly showcases how much you love and are loved.

Thank you djmat for your kind words. I should tell you it was you, and your leadership in the original 2.5" charm swaps in past years, that got me started in this ongoing collecting, storage, and usage of charms. I am now 98% dedicated to scrap quilting of these amazing squares. I owe you a note of thanks for starting me on this amazing journey. It is you who has inspired me. Thanks again, my quilting board friend..... Jane Q
