Does anyone have any pictures of quilts with the sashing made out of this kind of sashing, sometimes if I see it, I get a better idea of if it is something that would even look good on the quilt I am doing?? Thanks for the info.

I love triple sashing. It's about the only sashing I do. You can do three different colors so that every other block is framed by a different color or you can do two color. If I do two color sashing I use 9 patches for cornerstones so it looks like it weaves in the cornerstones. Let me know if you want me to dig out some samples and take pics for you.

Thank you scissor queen, that was my next question about using cornerstones, I have been doing some searching but yet to find a photo of a quilt with the different color sashing. Thanks.

I took pics of the three tops I have with triple sashing. They're all UFOs at the moment.
Anyway, first is triple sashing with 9 patch cornerstones. [ATTACH=CONFIG]335929[/ATTACH] Next is triple sashing with a contrasting cornerstone. [ATTACH=CONFIG]335930[/ATTACH] Last is three color sashing with a solid cornerstone. [ATTACH=CONFIG]335931[/ATTACH] Two of the quilts are also low contrast, blended quilts. |
Thank you scissor queen, I really like all of your quilts, the one though, that catches my eye is the first one with the nine patch cornerstones, that is lovely. You should change their status from ufo to finished quilt, they are too lovely not to be out and admired. Thanks again.

The one you plan on finishing now is my favorite, they are all nice. I am so happy I do not have pets in the house anymore. lol

Just a quick question, how wide were the strips that you cut for the sashing? I know they are not too wide. Or think anyways. Thanks for your help.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]336172[/ATTACH] I did as others suggested. Sew one strip to the center going one direction and the other strip from the opposite direction. I also starched my fabric before cutting--heavily. I need to buy stock in Stay-flo & Niagra! |
Made a queen sized plaid with scrappy sewn on diagonal on paper blocks and triple sashing with nine patch cornerstones. It turned out wonderfully. I think the author was Evelyn Sloppy in her Strips and Strings book.
