Beautiful quilt. Wish I had read this before I started putting sashing on a quilt top. Didn't want post in a different fabric so the post are the same as the sashing and they are straight. Never thought about marking - will do that next time.

I am having a Homer Simpson moment. Duhhhh, why did I not thing of marking the sashing with a little pencil mark before. It would make it sooo much easier. Thank you for alerting me to the obvious.

This is why I LOVE this board!! Great suggestions, and i will definitely use them when I start sewing the blocks on my design wall together. Soon as I work up the nerve to start!

i add a border to each block, then stitch the blocks together. The blocks all line up perfectly straight and even. This works especially well if i'm using a print. Here's my friend's quilt as an example: The dark red sashing fabric is really a border sewn around each individual block.
