I've done it two ways, one with sashing and corner stones and using the full length sashing, either way works, but sometimes using the sashing and corner stones work best.

I do the long one horizontal because its easiest for me.

It's a personal preference, but I prefer the width.

Here is an example of what I'm talking about. The block was made, then a green strip went around the outside, then a red strip was sewn around the outside. Then all the blocks were sewn together. A question about adding sashing fabric to each block- my sashing fabric is white (white on white). The seams are hidden in this quilt's red sashing, but I'm worried that the seams would show up more with my white fabric, and would look weird... :?: Yes, I think the seam in a white fabric might show up more than this red fabric. I think sashing it this way and having it look good might depend on how "busy" your white fabric is, and how you end up deciding to quilt it. If you quilt it heavily, it probably would be fairly unnoticeable. You could always make a sample to test it out. |
I have always done it widthwise. But you could do it either, I think.

After I have made my blocks and arranged them on the design wall, I add the sashing to one block at a time. This is how I figure the amount of sashing. |
