Sunshine "ugly " fabric challenge blocks finished

I think I need to make quite a few more blocks if I'm going to make a king size of these. I think some sashing will be needed, or some type of unique setting. I plan on making quite a few more 6" blocks to add to the mix. Happy Quilting, Becky Email me
