Since the front sashing becomes 1/2" wide, if you adjust your needle (if your machine can do that) to just inside that 1/2" mark, your stitching will be inside the sashing. I'm still perfecting this myself and still wander off some time but, hey, as my quilt instructor always taught me....."Can you live with it?" If not, redo.
On a separate note, did I miss the post where you state what widths to cut the sashing strips? I cut mine 1" and 1-5/8".

For the current method I am doing the strips are suppose to be 1" inch width by the length of your block and the Back side Sashine is 1-3/4" width by the length of your block. If you click on the blog link in my signature you can easily find the posts for each segment of the current tutorial.
