I also did the sashings. Lots of work, but it came out beautiful. Have no pictures, but now I am making one for my other granddaughter. I will do this one on the embroidery machine too. You don't need stabilizer when you put all three layers in the hoop. Strong hands are a must. I used 5x7 hoop, top and bottom layer cotton and warm and natural batting.
what embroidery machine do you use?
I have a Brother PE770, embroidery only. My largest field is 5x7 hoop, but I do have a 5x12. Have to reposition the hoop, but saves me from rehooping the material, if I want to do more than one design.
