This is what I have done -- and I love the look. I used "filler" blocks the same color as the sashing, alternated the sides I sewed the fillers, trimmed the filler blocks so the rows were the same size and then added the sashing so the rows really look like they are floating. Did this with a couple of charity quilts where different folks made the rows and the makers were creative about the lengths of the rows.
