I ended up having to rip out lots of seams!

I don't understand this tip. But it sure sounds important. Can you explain this again? SAS is on my bucket list, and I don't want to mess it up.

Are you saying the color placement should look like this? :

Now, here is one called Traditional where the sashing isn't doubled. https://lindafranz.com/galleries/storm-at-sea-quilt/41 To me, a totally different look.

This one from Craftsy really shows what you can do by just changing the colors within the pattern. https://www.craftsy.com/quilting/pat...sea-var/227657

Thank you Barb
I am planning a scrappy SAS to use up my left over fabrics.

I'm following the Marti Michell pattern featured in
American Patchwork Quilting Magazine, April 2018 issue

I purchased her templates and find them user friendly.
