I see that Fox has given you a very good tute on layout but I wanted to add a little about the sashing. I did mine with the quilt as you go process. There is a great tutorial here on the board if you'll search for it. The one done by Deb is the one I used. You basically cut your batting the same size as your block and your backing bigger for each block. Quilt each block individually, then cut your backing to 1" larger than the square. After each block is quilted and trimmed you sew them together with the seams turned to the front and them hemmed just like binding. It creates the sashing.
On this quilt, I did sew several blocks together before quilting so as to have the right combination size for the block next to it. I hope this helps you. And by the way---I got one of your blocks. Did you see her? THANKS!
