The block on the sides is the sashing. The cornerstones will be a red fabric of some sort. Kind of forgot to select something for that but have plenty of time since we're only on the 2nd block. I am going for a scrappy look. I am digitizing the artwork and so the large design above took only 13 minutes to stitch! I finally decided to use Isacord thread and I liked my choice after the first stitchout. If you haven't checked out the free BLOM for this yet look for the button on the left side of my blog. That's the link to Kaaren's site.
