Check all of your blocks, there are many without the sashing on the right side of the block. Beautiful patchwork BTW.

The last 2 blocks on your right going vertical have no top sashing. Easy fix for you. Sure glad it didn't happen in the middle.

I'm sure it's something obvious I'm just not seeing. The corner triangles haven't been added yet.
When looking at the picture and the bottom as it shows here, you have sashing and the little 4 square corner blocks going to the big triangles but not on the top section the same way. I would suggest that in order to see what you have different on each end to fold the top so each end touches and see what is missing. don't know if this makes sense or not- but like doing a mirror image. Another suggestion look at the picture you took and check row by row- you should be able to see what is wrong. Good luck. It is looking great so far.

Looks to me as if you are missing sashing in several places. Top left: 3 blocks are not sashed on one side..unless the corner pieces are not yet sewn in and are just hiding the sashing. And in 3rd row down, block on far right side is missing sashing, and bottom row, far right, that block is missing sashing.

Beautiful quilt, though! Love your blocks! I have a sampler in red and white, too, but it's a UFO that still needs borders and, of course, quilting.

You pulled a "Kelly" you forgot the right side sashing all the way down that side. Look again. i like having an extra set of eyes or twenty to find my boo boos too! With the sashing, your pieces will fit nicely. Blessings

I think you have to look closely at each block to insure they all have sashing. There aren't that many blocks missing the sashing. It won't take long to fix. Don't you just love our best friend, Mr. Ripper!!!

Default Fixed it!

Thank you so much, everyone. I think I could have stared at it for days and not realized it was missing sashing. It's done and added to the "to-be-quilted" stack.
