I also sewed blocks together in bigger squares rather than rows (or columns). I didn't use sashing and found that pinning the seams worked well. I did have to snip and flip a bunch of seams to get them to nest. Other deadlines got in the way, but I hope to finish this by the end of the year.MissPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807348837446241284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-40548652742828622012016-08-29T10:42:08.339-04:002016-08-29T10:42:08.339-04:00If it's any comfort, I didn't notice eithe...If it's any comfort, I didn't notice either of those things until you pointed them out.

My first impression was a pig snout, but what do I know--I live on a farm and it skews my perspective. *LOL* So yes, I would remove that one if it was my quilt.<br />As for the little pop of blue--that to me is what makes scrap quilts interesting--those little splashes of unexpected color (but NOT pig snouts).<br />Now for the sashing, you would lose the secondary pattern, but the blocks have enough visual interest on their own that you don't NEED the secondary pattern. It would make assembly SO much easier, not having to match all of those seams and points, and I am all for easy. I will be interested to see what you end up choosing to do. : )Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-49883924029675917002016-08-29T10:29:17.010-04:002016-08-29T10:29:17.010-04:00I love this layout - it is very visual :*).

And I'd suggest a pieced sashing to create a partial secondary effect without having to match every single seam.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14036950955976620955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-22283758952426968902016-08-29T08:22:09.576-04:002016-08-29T08:22:09.576-04:00Your blocks are beautiful.
