Well-Loved Ladies QAL: Sashing

YAY!

You are so close to the finish;)

This week we are on to the

sashing for the blocks.

Making the decision to blend

the sashing so the stars jump out

or to give your blocks a small

bit of framework will be

the hardest part of this step.

I promise!

My blocks rested on my 

guest bed for a good solid

week just as you see them here.

I just couldn't wrap my 

brain around how it would

look when done and I 

didn't want to waste time

making all those little 

star points just to hate it.

If you are on the fence

about which fabric to choose,

give your blocks a space

to lounge upon their options.

Try to pick a space that you

wander by at least once a day.

Look at your fabrics in 

different lights of the day.

The math won't change

a bit if you decide to go

with straight corner stones

and leave the star points off

but I love the little extra

detail added to the quilt.

If you have been purchasing

the TEMPLATES ONLY

each month, you can find

all the assembly instructions

(blocks, border bias vine,

 and sashing) in the 

First block: Currants

(Includes quilt instruction)

 ASSEMBLY TIP:
Make sure you cut the squares
for the star points very accurately.
Small pieces seem to feel
mistakes more.
Stitch corner to corner on 
a slower speed to avoid
distortion.
Press well before trimming,
OR, don't trim at all and 
leave the corner bits in
for added stability. 

Please share pictures and

progress or questions in

Keep stitchin'
