the ironing board is ready too but someone thinks it belongs to her :lol:

I guess putting a blanket over it was her tip off. I put it there to keep the hair off but I think it just encourages it. Oh well gotta love the fur babies ;-)

She looks very relaxed anyway!!

her name is Sonata it should have been Siesta lol

I was thinking it might be easier to sew the strip on the bottom and along the right side of each block... then when we sew the blocks together the sashing will already be done for most of the quilt. We would still have to sew the top row of sashing and the first block of each row would need one strip on the left side. Does this babbling make sense?

For a plain sashing, I would sew only on one side of each block at this point, say the right side. Then when you sew each block together you can add the bottom sashing in one long piece. It would save a bit of fabric.

But... what you have suggested is correct, if you do the bottom and right side on each block, at the end you'll just be sewing them together. I'm doing a pieced sashing and am doing exactly that for several reasons.... so I don't have a huge pile of sashings to make at the end, and so I'm forced to take my time doing just a couple with every block. When I start chain piecing and doing huge numbers I stop concentrating and start rushing.

These are mine with the right and bottom sashing done on each block.

I wish! LMAO

That's all I've done so far... oh wait, I've done week 2's triangle as well just because it was causing so many problems.

I needed to get a "set" of blocks done, ones that sit next to each other, so I could test my sashing and make sure I liked the look. So I've done three extras around one of week 1's blocks. But that's it.

I swear.

Well.

Except for maybe the second set I'm working on. ;-)

Cool! I will check it out! Thank you!
