    Default help/ ideas
    Just finishing a quilt. I'm four blocks short and can make those but I have no more of the sashing fabric left. Will need to use a different fabric. My only thought is to remove four blocks from center of quilt and put the new fabric there. There must be an easier way.

    Sometimes you just have to make a design decision and go with it. Putting them in the middle or one on each corner may look okay.

    You could remove the top row and use the same sashing for the top and bottom rows, then it would look more planned

    I would try the 4 corner idea if it will work for you. If not I would go with donna13350 .
