Really? Oh, thanks! I was kicking myself for not reading the directions thoroughly. I really appreciate your response

Thanks, NZ- I really love this pattern and fabrics so I think I'll just forget that the sashings aren't all the same lol

Here's a picture of my top. It measures 88 x 88. Sorry the picture is a little blurry.

Susie. Such a pretty top. I had to put this aside to complete some other projects. I will get back to it in a few weeks.

I wanted the brown for the border. I had about a 1/4 yard of each brown left. I needed contrast between the dot fabric and the tan sashing.

Better late than becoming a UFO! Here is my top. I decided on a simple 4" border instead of the huge appliqued border.

NZ- I love yours!!!

Maybe it's just me but I didn't care for the appliqued border on this quilt. I love applique but I think this one is so cozy just the way it is.
I chose navy for my border but haven't attached it yet. I'm in too many sewalongs haha! But they're fun!
Happy New Year, everyone!
