Click "download more info" to the right.
The hardest part is choosing the perfect fabric. The second hardest part is lining up and cutting out. After that, everything is a snap!

Peggy, this is gorgeous! Your color choices are just beautiful. I've already printed out that pattern. Can't wait to make one. What's the name of the fabric you used in this quilt? I have a hard time deciding which fabric will work in these. I'd like to see what your fabric looked like before you cut it, if you still have a piece.

A little uneven gives the quilt extra interest! Some of my quilts have lots of extra interest! froggyintexas

She does call it sashing the easy way and it may be where you saw it.

I add a border to each block, then stitch the blocks together. The blocks all line up perfectly straight and even. This works especially well if I'm using a print. Here's my friend's quilt as an example: the dark red sashing fabric is really a border sewn around each individual block.
