The next size up

I was Wondering....

 

What if I began with 6" squares

instead of 5" charm squares like my last quilt??

 

Found out....

It's Fiddly.

I ended up trimming my scrappy 2 1/2" squares to 2 3/8".

Not sure I want to do that for a whole quilt.

????

 

I've never been of FAN of any 1/8th inches!!!

 

I have a hard enough time with 1/4 inches!!!

 

We'll see.

I DO want to use some 6" scrappy squares.

And...

I DO have a FEW.....(cough, cough..sputter, sputter...)

 

Here's a little more info on the above block.

Mostly 2 3/8" squares

plus 2 3/8"x4 1/4" creams

 

Make TWO of these.

Trim to 6".

 

Find two 6" scrappy squares.

 

Then...

Add 2 3/8"x 6" sashing

with a small 2 3/8" square right in the middle!!!
