I would press then MEASURE all the blocks first. That way you will know which one is the smallest size (assuming there is variation) and you can square/trim them all to that size.

Are you going to use sashing between the blocks? Or even sashing with corner blocks? I think it will be a beauty no matter how you finish it.

I think I am going to use sashing. I've seen some similar quilts and I think I like it. I don't know about corner blocks, MadQuilter! Not sure about the border yet, either, but I definitely want the finished product a bit bigger than what it would be if I sewed the blocks together...I'm looking around for ideas!

Thanks, everyone!

Very Pretty blocks!
I can just see them sashed and bordered in a lime green!
but I have no little girls so I can just dream!

I would sew them together on point and then add a couple of triangles to "square" up the quilt, add a lovely lime green or purple sashing and then bind in either lime green or purple, depending on what you use for the sashing. I really would starch the blocks before ironing and squaring and make sure you measure them and find the smallest one first then cut all to the same size.
i am a new quilter and just found starch and sizing and love them to death. makes quilting soooo much easier. hope this helps.

Going to be a lovely quilt.

Press and then measure your blocks. Find the smallest one, square it up then square up the others to match it. It's going to be a beauty.

I would audition green, pink, and blue for the sashing (solid or print on print). I am sure that the "right" fabric will stand out.

MQ-I'm glad you said that. I was thinking I need to go with a colored sashing and I think I do want a subtle print. Hopefully I can shop some this weekend--I'll bring some blocks along!

Great looking quilt so far.... I think a purple sashing would look fabulous.
