Stack and Whack Senior and Junior!

This is the senior version of 20 blocks that now measure 10 1/2 square.  My first thought about sashing is shown in the second row but it didn't do it for me so I had to come up with something and decided to fashion cornerstones that measured 2 in square finished as I didn't want just a solid color.  The main sashing color is just a little bit off white which looks much better than the stark white of my design wall.

I decided to go with a a one inch square surrounded by 1/2 inch wide border.  I then decided to alternate the green in the center with the red/orange in the center.

I got most of it completed this afternoon.  I still have to put a border made up of the sashing fabric around the whole quilt.  It currently is 48 x 58 and will be 52 x 62 when I add the border.  I am toying with using some of the extra fabric (there isn't much) in additional borders on top and bottom but have to think about how I want to do that.

This is about half of the smaller 5 1/2 in square blocks I made with half of the fabric.  I made a total of 50 blocks which should made two baby sized quilts with a 5 x 5 setting or one larger quilt for another charity.  I have searched through my stash of hand dyes to come up with four different borders for the blocks which will boost them up to 8 inches finished.  It has been difficult to match that lighter color.

The second half of these is pictured below (although some are the same blocks but 20 are new).
