Giquilt pretty blocks. I'd thought about putting the sashing on but wasn't sure I'd have enough of the background and know I can't get anymore of it. Also thinking of corner stones not sure of color to use. Best get some more done and than see

giquilt I am adding my sashing as I go, I am using the same background fabric throughout so that is my sashing and I just have to make up my mind for my cornerstones. Having made the Farmers Wife Sampler quilt where I made all 111 blocks and then sewed the sashing, I had to have a better plan so when I made the Farmers Wife Pony Club quilt which was only 90 blocks I added the sashing as I went. I use a safety pin to keep all my blocks together for their respective rows, and when I get 2 that go together I simply sew the sashing on. I am also doing this for Dear Jane, sew a couple of blocks and then sew some sashing. I hope that makes sense to you..

Mirabelle, Best Press does not leave behind any residue behind. I order from Jo Ann's when it's half price by the gallon. Gee, do I ever have use for it with all that I am trying to do. Working with Dear Jane today...very slowly... and press with Best Press as I finish each one.

I like Best Press too. Didn't know JoAnn's has it. Will watch for sale when I need a new gallon. I used it today also, but on my this weeks Sylvia's blocks. Still trying to organize DJ.

We don't have Best Press, the best one to use is Crisp, the residue will just brush off, not a problem

Thank you. Hoping I can keep the consistency. I have a hard time with color. Will see what I end up with. There are so many beautiful blocks here

Mirabelle, beautiful blocks!!! We don't have Best Press either nor Crisp. When I use too much of the starch I have it burns the fabrics
