alphabet, extra blocks and starting the sashing

Working on the sashings--ran out of red yardage, so there will be yet another shade introduced! I like how that is looking.

For the corner blocks, I made children with scraps from my mother of clothes she made for my brother and sisters and me. The pink dots are from a dress she helped me make for the 4-H fair.
This quilt is for my sister who is finishing her doctorate in education.
