Sashing question
#1
I'm piecing a top and have never done sashing. My question is- what is the best way to add sashing- should the long piece of sashing between the rows run the length of the quilt, or the width?

it depends. I normally make the long piece be horizontal (so that I'm joining rows together). You can certainly do it the other way and have the long piece be vertical (so you're joining columns). Sometimes it will depend on how much fabric you have and if you feel like piecing any of the sashing.

You can make the long piece go either way. Here is a tutorial on how to align sashing without cornerstones:

Having done it both ways, I find it lots easier to use cornerstones! Makes aligning a snap!
