Who has used this method and is it better/worse/easier than the standard type of sashing? Does it end up looking just as nice?
Here is a tutorial on it.

Haven't tried but looks very nice. Thanks for sharing this blog.

Didn't look at tutorial but I have done "top and right" sashing - I like it a lot and looks just as good when finished.

I prefer to do my sashing in pieces on each block rather than long strips. I find it is much easier to get the blocks lined up accurately and easier to assemble the blocks together this way. I do it "left and top" but same principle.

If you use cornerstones with your sashing, it is identical. If you don't use cornerstones, there is an additional seam, which usually is not noticeable, unless you are using a fabric with a strong linear print. The reason I like sashing the blocks as you go without cornerstones is it is much easier to match the rows & columns.

I just did this on a diamond quilt because the pattern called for it - I liked it and it looks great.

I tried it once (from F&P TV) and the seams do not nest as nicely as when you attach the sashing separately. I am a fanatic about my seams nesting.

Here's an even better tutorial.

I find both tutorials interesting... I usually follow the directions of the pattern in which I am using but will keep this in mind to try on my next scrappy.
