What is it called when.........?
Hmm, if I am putting a row of fabric, that is all different fabrics, around each tshirt block , then putting sashing of all the same fabric between all the blocks, what is the first row of fabric I add called? Is it still sashing? Is it trim? Edging?
Is sashing only when it ties the whole top together? Borders go around the unit... or am I adding a border to each square?
Sometimes it really matters what things are called when trying to explain what one is doing and plans to do.

My sister died in 2003 and left many, many quilt blocks. Apparently she loved to make the blocks. I gave most of them to her daughter to finish, but found out she is not interested. One that I took, she had put an applique star on muslin and sewed plaid to one side of all the blocks. I found lots of plaids with it and sewed different plaids to each side of each blocks. Then I sewed them together. I can't call it sashing because it doesn't all match, so when everyone calls it 'framing', I became excited! Finally, I found a word for it! Thanks for asking the question I needed an answer to.

Framing is an excellent term! It fits exactly what I am doing and sets it apart from the sashing that I will do later.
Thanks for the input, and I'm glad it helped someone besides me!
