Four-square with sashing

Oh, Bella. Bellissima Bella. "Four-square with sashing" is such a practical name, you deserve something indicative of the surprisingly harmonious blend of colors and patterns of your 196 squares. You pretty, pretty imperfect-but-oh-so-cool-that-I-did-it-all-myself quilt!

Bella was an exercise in so many things: navigating through the quilting section on eBay, navigating through the fabrics at Joann and The Cotton Shop, deciding what fabrics I liked (the ubiquitous Amy Butler, now I know why crafters love her work), calculating how much fabric for the sashing, binding, and backing that I needed, calculating how much batting I needed, and figuring out the best way to quilt, or tie, this. It was great fun.

Now, if I can only remember the details...
