After 8 long months, I'm happy to announce that I've finished the front of my quilt! It is a king size quilt (approx 93" x 112"), and consists of 30 13.25"* blocks with cornerstones (2" square*) and sashing (2" x 13.25"*).
Once I had the blocks all finished, I laid them out on the living room floor to make sure the two styles of blocks I'd done (squares and pinwheels) alternated properly.
Once I had the order of the blocks ready, I then sewed the blocks into rows with the sashing between the blocks, and sewed the sashing and cornerstones into rows. Below is what the square rows looked like (I don't have a photo of the sashing and cornerstone rows.
This is the method illustrated below:
And, viola! As shown above, here's the finished front part of the quilt!
*finished dimensions - I use quarter inch seam allowances
