Default My latest from 1.5" strips

The blocks were 6.5". Sashing cut at 1.5"

Side border was added to make a 40" wide quilt. If I had added an extra row, they probably would have trimmed it to 42 maximum so the backing didn't have to be pieced. If the blocks were trimmed to 6" I could have fit in the extra row, but I only have a 6.5" not a 6" and was too lazy to have to fiddle with getting them all cut to measure 6" square! Thanks for looking.

P.S. It has squared sides, just not laid down on the floor squarely!
