Sew this with a scant 1/4 inch seam. Grab your next quilted block and sew the back sashing to the next block. Lay this out flat and iron over the front sashing to cover the gap between the blocks and sew this with a top stitch close to the edge. Do the same thing with each block and then attach rows the same way. I'm not good with explaining things so you might not be able to visualize this. I watched a QAYG with Susan Claire and she is great explaining it as she goes along. You can make the sashing as wide as you want within reason. I narrowed this one because I liked the smaller look.
