Blue and White block layout...need opinions
#13

So now I have a dillemma...all of the sashing that I've cut seems to not be quite long enough! It was long enough in my measurements, but for some reason, it's not turning out long enough. I don't have any of that fabric left to add peices on when it comes up short...so I'm not quite sure what to do.
I could add the darker fabric in when a shashing comes up short, and have it look really strange...
That's really the only option I have...ideas????

Oooops forget that you have it already. Back to the drawing board.

how much short are you?
something I learned - if I put the side with the fewest seams on top when I'm sewing - I can "ease in" the bottom layer fairly easily
I've found that sometimes blocks "stretch" when I'm sewing them -
Also, are all the blocks pretty much the same size? You might want to verify that before you continue
