Beautiful quilt. Wish I had read this before I started putting sashing on a quilt top. Didn't want post in a different fabric so the post are the same as the sashing and they are straight. Never thought about marking - will do that next time.

Excellent tutorial Michigan and ChaiQuilter. Bookmarked for my on-going quilt.

That's how I do it, too.
You explained it very well. |
That is one gorgeous quilt. The colours are beautiful.

I quilt my larger tops in sections on my home machine. Using cornerstones, even with the same fabric as the sashing, makes the sections come together fairly neatly after quilting. You don't have to stretch and ease.

I am having a Homer Simpson moment. Duhhhh, why did I not thing of marking the sashing with a little pencil mark before. It would make it sooo much easier. Thank you for alerting me to the obvious. :D

This is why I LOVE this board!! Great suggestions, and i will definitely use them when I start sewing the blocks on my design wall together. Soon as I work up the nerve to start!

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.
