Also if you want to make it bigger, how about sashing? A two inch sash between each block REALLY adds up quickly to give you the extra size you want!
fresh out of purple & a six inch border will do the same! again i disagree, sashing is a separator to me, if you want the blocks to stand out, fine, i'm going 4 the close & crowded look--i do appreciate your opinion! & thanks for your suggestions!
