Thanks Jean, the sashing makes sense. Really doesn't matter if you do top or bottom, right or left, as long as you're consistent and do a vertical and a horizontal both. Just changes which sides of the finished body that you have to add the long strips to. Or am I confused? It adds cutting but saves time trying to piece long sides strips together to get the right length, measuring that long length, etc. Thanks for the instructions. I"ll try it next time I need sashing!
