I finished the sashing and trimmed all the blocks down to 14 inches square. The sashing is off by 1/8th of an inch at the most on a couple of them. I do think though that when the blocks get pieced together, they may not line up exactly, but....I don't care. I think something like that wilkl just add character to the quilt top.

I know it's time to connect all my blocks. What is the easiest way to do this?

I also know I can add the border after I put all the blocks together, or I can skip it. I was going to do a black border, but with the sashing, it will already look like there is a black border. I could do the border anyway and have it nice and wide around the quilt. I'm not sure what to do. I'm not going to start piecing the blocks together until tonight, so please lend me some feedback on what you would do. I have to vacuum my living room floor before I lay the pieces out, as the cats and the baby have crumbs and fur all over the place. When I do this, I will take several pics of the quilt blocks with the sashing and post them.

Let me know what you all think. I truely value your opinions!!
