Hi, I'm new to the site but not new to quilting. Recently retired and now have time to quilt and use up some of the stash I've had for years. I worked in a fabric store for 13 years while kids were growing up. I enjoy creatng "I Spy" quilts. Trying something new and need some help with "quilt as you go" I understand the blocks but not sure about adding the sashing.

Where in Eastern PA? We make 2 trips a year to the Lancaster county area to shop the quilt shops. We also shop in the Charm, Ohio area about 2 miles from my home. It's nice but the bargains aren't like we find in Bird-In-Hand etc.
