WOW1 That's beautiful! I've been selling my stash, (need money and room) but I may rethink what to do with some of my smaller pieces.

I love scrappy quilts and this is a stunner. I often use this method of piecing together quilt as you go. However I do have problems getting the "sashing" ie connectors to line up when I sew the strips together. Your is so precise, do you have any tips on how to line them up. If the connector strips are high contrast as in yours, misalignment really stands out.

The only advise I can give you there is to match and pin. It's the only part of the quilt I pinned. I hate to use pins because I always end up sticking myself a few times....ouch!! If you look, and your sashing is a contrasting color, you can see it between the layers....Wish I could give you more help!
