Start doing all the vertical sashings in one row, working from the center, then out to the sides. Do the vertical sashing the same way in the next row. Then add the horizontal sashing between the 2 rows.

This will help keep everything else from shifting as you sew the sashing strips.

Then you will be ready to finish the edge with the binding. If you don't know how, come back and ask. There is plenty of help available here.

No worries, we have all been beginners. Many quilters just started right in, and have had our share of "creative opportunities".

Good luck to you.
