Just reading your so nice comments. Thank you so much for the encouragement. Jitkaau asked what made this quilt so hard. First, this is my very first pp project. I had to read and re-read the instructions. They just would not compute! I would think I had the space covered, flip it over, sew and then find out I didn't get a corner covered. Just that type of thing. Maybe I should have chosen a simpler pattern for my 1st try. Oh well, the hard part is over, I am in the proecess of sewing the strips together and it is going pretty smooth. I love this sashing, think I will use it on other projects. Again thank you for your kind words and encouragement.
