And using squares for the sashing is perfect. I'm afraid I would have chosen long strips which would have lessened your lovely effect. A quilt to love and comfort.

That's not so bad, I'm sure we all have done worse. I know what you mean about carefully managing the strips to make it look random, I've struggled with that myself.
