I line up the vertical sashing with the row below/above it (depending if you are going from bottom to top or top to bottom, pin it exactly where the sashing is and sew away. Works every time. Easy peasy - taught to me by my mother and Mother knows best!!!!!! Edie

Time to pull out your quilting mags and books. Know what you mean, I see all of my goofs, too. The good news is even the experts have difficulty making it "perfect", seeing that always makes me feel just a tad better. You did an outstanding job, I can't see your boo-boos and it is just darned cute.

Pretty table topper! I love scrappy quilts but they do take me longer because I'm mostly cutting individual pieces from different sized scraps. Sometimes I can stack a few scraps to cut at one time but that takes time aligning them all too.

I was taught that even if you want one solid color of sashing you should still use cornerstones. It helps you in keeping everything straight and easy to match the seams. This was also stated my an NQA judge at a quilt show judging. It really seems to make it easier in the long run.

Here is a good tutorial about sashing:

In the second step you don't have to make the cornerstone a different color, or you could eliminate it altogether and just make the bottom strip longer.
