I made this red and white sampler with a variety of block patterns. I added the sashing to the diagonal rows, then figured the size of the setting triangles and sewed the rows together. The lower left side in the picture is the first row and the upper right with the maple leaf pattern is the last row added. Why is the last row not the right size? I'm sure it's something obvious I'm just not seeing. The corner triangles haven't been added yet.

Looks to me as if you are missing sashing in several places. Top left: 3 blocks are not sashed on one side..unless the corner pieces are not yet sewn in and are just hiding the sashing. And in 3rd row down, block on far right side is missing sashing, and bottom row, far right, that block is missing sashing.
Beautiful quilt, though! Love your blocks! I have a sampler in red and white, too, but it's a UFO that still needs borders and, of course, quilting.

You pulled a "Kelly" you forgot the right side sashing all the way down that side. Look again. i like having an extra set of eyes or twenty to find my boo boos too! With the sashing, your pieces will fit nicely. Blessings

I think you have to look closely at each block to insure they all have sashing. There aren't that many blocks missing the sashing. It won't take long to fix. Don't you just love our best friend, Mr. Ripper!!!
