thanks Soniboo and crafty bear! The sashing is actually how I joined it all together! Was all quilt as you go! Just love that technique! My daughter uses it on the floor at the moment (much to the horror of a few non-quilting friends of hers!) ... Ambah still in a cot - it's been washed quite a few times already, in just a month since we gave it to her! Oh how I love my quilts to be used, loved and cherished :)
