I sew the bottom sash to each block and join them into a long, vertical strip. Add the vertical sashing to one side of the strip. Take a ruler and lay it out to the edge .... Oh, here are a couple of pictures! Hope this makes it easier!

Apologize for untrimmed top block, but just to give you the idea!

Line up with ruler

Line up sashing on next block strip with chalk marks
