Question unquilted sashing & borders

Hello to all you helpful folks out there! I have been lurking on this board for quite a while as I worked on my first two quilts, and have gleaned quite a bit of knowledge from you all. Hopefully you can help me with my next quandary:

I just finished binding my first completed quilt ever. It is hand-pieced, hand-quilted, and 42 inches square. I used 8-inch churn dash blocks separated by 2-inch wide sashing, and 2 inch wide borders. Since I wanted to get it done while my baby was still a baby , I only quilted in the white spaces of each block. I used Warm & Natural, which says that up to 10" quilting space is ok.

Now I am afraid that I made a mistake leaving the sashing & borders unquilted, since they are 42 inches long. What do you think? How does the 10 inch thing apply to long, narrow strips? And if I do need to add some more quilting, can I do it without removing the binding?
