Rest and Refreshing BOW Civil War Sampler Quilt

I'm looking ahead...even though I am behind in the blocks....and wondering about the setting blocks and the sashing. The picture looks like she used a neutral for the sashing and another for the setting blocks, etc. If I follow the written fabric requirements, it will look too scrappy for my taste. I think I want to use one neutral for the sashing and another one (not more than one) for the rest of the quilt. In other words, it looks different than the fabric requirements indicate.

the pattern shows scrappy sashings with a single cornerstone, as well as scrappy boarder triangles supporting the boarder blocks. I like scrappy, and the pattern, that is the way I am going.....but as usual, we all tend to do our own things and I am sure it will look great no matter which way you go.

Jane Quilter!!! Your points are spot on. How do you do that? Mine from this a.m. are terrible. I only have one point on and everyone else is this way or that. You are a complete master.
How do I tell where my mistakes are. If I measure the pieces again they are on, and my scant quarter inch seems to be on, the pressing/ironing may be my mistake. I have a need to bulldoze it like a cement truck.
I think re-measuring, I make the same mistakes. How did you refine your techniques to get such perfection. I am almost ashamed to put up my block on this board. But I will and let you all have a gander.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]578848[/ATTACH]Here it is. I looked at the ruler I was using and it is a little off, plus my fat pencil line throws it off. This is the fresh lilacs one and I have the civil war fabric cut but only partially sewn. I know we are our worst critics, but mine deserves criticism.
