This quilt was square. I felt more sure about it because I had one on one help with it at our local quilt shop. I left it at the quilt shop, and they gave it to a quilter who could complete it in one week since it's a Christmas runner. She used free motion quilting and it stretched the sashing. I blocked it and put the binding on. It looks better but not perfect. I appreciate all of your input. I'll learn to select my own quilter.
