When you are just quilting your blocks...cut your batting larger than you need...I cut mine 6" square (if I remember correctly)....you want it large enough to extend out to where the sashing will be so that you will just sew the blocks together and you will have enough to extend under the sashing strips when you are ready to assemble. After you quilt the blocks, you will trim it to the size you need...depending on how large you want your sashing.
