I just felt my way thorough it. It's not that different than the narrow sashing except for two things: You don't use the top piece doubled, just single with the edge turned under, and you insert batting and quilt it down after. QAYG is so cool!Will have to look up Kass' tute and see how she does it.

Found Kass' tute. Sounds like pretty much the same way I did it, minus the starch and glue. Kass, for some reason your pictures have disappeared again! The board should maintain it's tutes better. They are a valuable resource for the site.

The new set is still there, they are on post 20. The moderator said she was going to put a note on the first post but no note has ever been put on it that I know of.

With the narrow sashing you are using the two abutting seam allowance as the "filler", and that "batting" doesn't require securing by quilting. When you widen the sashing you need to add batting and it will need some quilting for securing. Other then that what you do on the back isn't affected. But you have to chose between either continuing to double one of the sashes as normal or turning one edge before topstitching. If your sashing is pieced you almost surely have to turn the edge rather then double.

One thing I found when I made the wide sashing was that it was imperative to fit those wide batting strips well. Too narrow, there's a gap. Too wide, there's a ridge that's unappealing. After a few of them, you get a good feel for what is just right.

Someone on the VQW mentioned that their wide sashed QAYG was perfect until they washed it, and then little gaps appeared between the inserted batting and the batting of the blocks... like the batting shrank more than the fabric. Have you had anything happen like that, Kass or Janice? I have quilted big diamonds on my sashings, but if the batting might shrink more than the fabric, I might need to go back and quilt it down more.
