Thank you all, for the encouragement! I have my scraps out and I'm going to see what I can do about a scrappy piano key border! I think I want the blocks sewn together, too. Do I use a 1/4" seam for that? More?

Keep us posted and yes you use a 1/4" seam for all your quilt top work.

You are doing a marvelous job on this quilt :D:D:D

If you are curious about a sashing, try laying out a fabric and put the blocks on top of it spaced out and see if you like the way it looks :wink:

I need to get away from this quilt. My house is starting to look neglected! But I decided to keep the blocks together (no sashing) and once I determined that, I had to sew it together. Those corners are tricky, huh? The order of the rows also changed after I realized I had sewed one row on upside down...twice (Due to corners being WAY off, I had ripped and re-pinned/sewed without noticing)! I didn't want to rip it a THIRD time--worried about the poor fabric, so I reordered the rows a bit.

Aside from those small issues, sewing the blocks into rows and the rows together has been the most fun!!

It looks like a quilt!

My goodness this is looking good. Don't forget to send us pics when the borders are on.

Thanks so much! I am excited to see it really coming together. I am working on scrounging up enough fabric leftovers for the piano key border. And need to pick a solid border fabric...
