When you attach the next row to this sashing strip, first match up and pin each seam to the marked line in the sashing strip. As you sew, ease or stretch the blocks as necessary to make sure the seams are lined up with the markings. This ensures that the rows line up when you are done.
This is what I have done. Also I will sometimes add a square to go under the vertical sashes and sew a strip the size of the block end. I hope this makes sense.
