Hi Linda:
Have a look at Ditter's string quilt tutorial:

Scroll down until she talks about joining the blocks. You cut sashing strips for the front and the back and join them that way (with your blocks squared up just like you did) Keep us posted how you do or if you have any questions. Oh, and we would love to see your quilt when you get it finished!!
