So, today I finished 81 blocks of 113, but I am now at a stand still as I wait for my 30's fats and background color to arrive. I thought I would take a photo of all the blocks smooshed together to see how it would look as Kay suggested. Not a bad idea as I am generally not a fan of sashing, but the color is not quite enough for me to give it a go. I'm excited to get the next 32 blocks done, but it will probably take a couple weeks. It's ok, anticipation is half the excitement.
In case you are wondering where I got this pattern from, it came from the book Nickel Quilts by That Patchwork Place. I am actually very excited about this book in general as it gives me some ideas for things I can do with charm squares as all the patterns require 5 inch square scraps. Also, the directions in this book are very very good and there are plenty of inspirational quilts within which make it a great quilting book to add to the library.

I love it!! Your quilt looks fantastic - very appealing to the eye. Hope your delivery arrives soon.
very nice looking forward to seeing it finished
your quilt looks great, aren't 30's fun to work with?

Hey, thanks for posting that picture. I agree though that the colors of the blocks make the accent of sashing more necessary. This will be very pretty however you do it.
