So I set out to make enough blocks to total 30.
I knew that we'd still want it bigger still, so I bought some solid green from Hancock for 3 in. sashing.
All the sashing and the corner stones are cut and ready to be sewn!It's coming along.
Here she is waiting for me to cut out the outside border. I didn't have enough of one fabric, so the border is a 6 in. width of all the leftover fabrics.
She ended up 89x104! A great size for a queen bed. The binding will be the pale stripe fabric. You can see it better in the picture above.
