I spent some time arranging my squares in between doing chores today. Once I figured out the layout that pleased me, I labeled the columns and stacked the squares. It keeps things sane. Every time I decide that I do not need these sort of organizing props, the layout gets messed up.
Here, I have the sashing pieces cut and stacked with the squares. It is all set for me to sew them together. Once I had the sashing stitched on, I joined all of the columns to make the rows of the quilt. It's turned sideways on the ironing board so that I could press the pieces open. The numbered pins get moved to the rows now, and I will cut them apart so sashing strips can be added in between the rows. Done quilting for the day - crabby old back is not happy with me! So maybe tomorrow, once home from Dad's I can get the sashing complete and make a decision about finishing. Border or no Border? That is the question....leaning toward no border and a nice lime green binding.
