There are no new colors/blocks being announced for November and December. Instead, we are given the time to move our projects forward, or complete them.
I chose to make my RSC18 blocks into the Squared Away Sampler this year.
I have sewn my blocks into an on point setting with star sashing.
I am very happy with the results!
*If you click on the photo, then you can see a closer view.
I don’t know if you can tell, but the setting triangles are white polka dots, not checks.
I am still considering a border, but I don’t really think that I need to add one.
If you would like to make the Squared Away Sampler, you can visit The Academic Quilter for great tutorials on making all of the blocks.

Super quilt. I love the Star sashing, not seen this idea before. I don’t think it needs a border -just perfect as it is!
