I'm jumping ahead with this question - How are the sashing strips sewn on. In long strips across the entire row? I was thinking it might be easier to sew the strip on the bottom and along the right side of each block... then when we sew the blocks together the sashing will already be done for most of the quilt. We would still have to sew the top row of sashing and the first block of each row would need one strip on the left side. Does this babbling make sense?
