The maker of this quilt, Elysha Ozanian, did a great job making the sashing really stand out. I drew out the quilt and found that instead of making the normal <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2025\/03\/march-2025-donation-blocks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">guild donation block<\/a>, I could make half of one and that would be the pieced part of the quilt. I tried to make a block out of the plain block and the pieced sashing, but it didn&#8217;t work, so I will just build the quilt using individual units of the small plain block, the large plain block and the pieced portion using <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/aq-projects-tutorials\/aq-tutorials\/chunking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chunking<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The units comprising one plain block, 4 small plain blocks and the pieced sections are over 14 inches. I am not quite sure how big I will make my version. Maybe 4 plain blocks wide with the sashing units on the outside? I&#8217;ll have to see.<\/p>\n<p>This might be another option for the guild to make as a donation quilt design.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last year I went to the Sonoma County Fair with friends from Austria.
