Thanks for the inspiration. My first quilt is a sampler of 12 blocks. I am doing a fancy stitch along all of the sashing and did not know what else I was going to do. I took a rulers class but am not confident that I can do even enough stitches and want this to look as good as it can...so stitch in the ditch it will be. It looks like every piece is stitched in your picture. Since each of my blocks is different, I think I will enjoy the process...considering the national emergency, I am glad I have the time and materials to work on projects each day.
