Finally got the inside of this quilt sewn together. I will be adding a couple of borders after I do the quilting. As I no longer have any batting here, it will wait until I head south. I am pretty pleased with the result. I found that I really didn't like surrounding the blocks with anything other than white but compromsed on the border.
I actually tried a configuration with half square triangles like I have done previously but again, didn't likee the colored fabrics abutting the "posies". So I tried this configuration which was okay but didn't increase the overall size of the quilt anymore than surrounding each of the blocks with white sashing which is what I finally decided to do.Here you can see all 64 blocks completed and basically how I decided to go with for a solution as I really like the individual blocks.
All the blocks properly sashed. Like the other quilt, I will first put a white border and then probably some green and maybe a dark purple. It is currently 38 x 48.
I have a ton of 4 1/2 in x 2 1/2 strips cut. There will probably be several more of these neonatal quilts done before I can use them all up!! I don't have nearly enough of the 6 1/2 strips cut so that will be next. I still have some more blocks to deal with as well - more stack and whacks.
