I managed to get the sashing around the blocks finished and everything sewn together, but only after I sewed it all together and took it all back apart THREE times! Nothing was lining up, at all, and it was bugging me. If it had been 'off' a little bit, I wouldn't have given it a second thought, but that was not the case.
I still needed to make it bigger so I made a black, red and white border to go around it that you can see in the pic below.
I am currently auditioning fabric to make a wide border to go all around, but my choices are limited, and my goal has been to use only what I have on hand and not purchase any new fabric for this project. We need the finished quilt to be big enough for our bunk in our camper. (It is currently 48" x 70") My man says this quilt will scare off the gators and raccoons, it is so bright! ha ha

It's beautiful...but I think the racoons will love those black and white stripes!

i really like what you've done with the bright solid borders to bring it all together. this is ta-da moment for me....it's exactly what my helter skelter quilt needs. the black and white is popping too. LOVE IT,
I just love it!! The different color squares that pop out, and then the black and white border. Good show!
This is gorgeous. So I'm not the only one who spends a lot of time taking out sewing, not once but several times. You look at it and think I'll just leave it, but you know it has to come out. Great result.
It is so much fun! So great to see you make changes and add things, and find your way with this!
Love the black and white border.... nice touch!
