We would still have to sew the top row of sashing and the first block of each row would need one strip on the left side. Does this babbling make sense?
But... what you have suggested is correct, if you do the bottom and right side on each block, at the end you'll just be sewing them together. I'm doing a pieced sashing and am doing exactly that for several reasons.... so I don't have a huge pile of sashings to make at the end, and so I'm forced to take my time doing just a couple with every block. When I start chain piecing and doing huge numbers I stop concentrating and start rushing.
These are mine with the right and bottom sashing done on each block.

That's all I've done so far... oh wait, I've done week 2's triangle as well just because it was causing so many problems.
I needed to get a "set" of blocks done, ones that sit next to each other, so I could test my sashing and make sure I liked the look. So I've done three extras around one of week 1's blocks. But that's it.
I swear.
Well.
Except for maybe the second set I'm working on. ;-)
