Now on to quilting. I started sashing with the icy blue but I just wasn't loving it. Some of the blocks were just a little under 6.5" and the columns of sashing just weren't lining up as they should.
So I tried cornerstones to continue the diagonal colour pattern. Much nicer! And I could fudge it to make the blocks and sashing line up perfectly.
Here's the finished flimsy. I don't think it needs a border. I'll just bind it with the same icy blue as the sashing. Thanks Angela for providing this sew along RSC project.
The last little bit of quilting I did this week was Clue 3 over at Humble Quilts. All of my short little 1.5" bits are sewn together and I now have 5 units on the design wall. Wonder what's next?

Your sampler blocks are beautiful! I love all the variations we've put together of the same project!
Your Rainbow Sampler turned out beautifully. I'm going to try to get my to fit without corner stones. Cross your fingers that it works.
Your sampler quilt is beautiful!!! I love it. The cornerstones added a nice touch. Wish I had done that to my quilt.
Wow! You have finished the top! Mine will be just blocks for a while I think. Looks great with the little cornerstones too.
