I've sewn all 28 Slashed Squares blocks. The big blocks were so graphic and powerful, the small ones just got lost in the mix. So as I sewed up a block, I threw it up on the design wall. When I had all 28 made, I started moving them around. I wanted to distribute the darkest darks, and the lightest lights. There are also a few "whites" that are actually "cream," and I didn't want those to be clustered together.
With the blocks finishing at 14" square, four blocks by seven works out to about 56" x 84". If you think it's a funny size, you're right, but this will be a table cover for my dining room table.

If this was on my design wall I would probably try a row of the small blocks down the center. Since it will be on a table that might look like a long table runner. On the other hand you could just make a table runner from the small blocks to set hot dishes on.
There is just something so striking about black and whites together in a quilt. It is elegant. Lovely work.
