I strip pieced my Irish Chain & was zooming along reconsidering my hatred of piecing when I got to pinning the top & bottom sashing for my 9-patch. I cut most of my pieces on the thick 2.5" line and a few on the skinny 2.5" line. Should have done the skinny for everything because the outside of the fat line adds 1/16".

I have pieced sashing - a 2" block, 6" rectangle, 2" block. Should I ease the extra sashing into the patch/side sashing or should I repiece my top & bottom sashings to match the size? Ugh! This is going to get even trickier when I add in my Sun Bonnet Sue blocks that were supposed to be 10" square.

I don't need perfection. This is for my 3-year old niece. I just don't want to have to start from scratch when almost everything is cut and pieced.
