I've added the two pieces of sashing between the blocks.
I really like to mark my rows because I have a tendency to turn them around once I walk from the layout wall to the sewing machine. I use my frixon pen because all I have to do is hit it with the iron and the writing is gone. Take a measurement through the center of the row and... sub cut the sashing that will go between the rows 2" wide.
Pin sashing in place and sew.
Alright that's done and I have connected each row.
Another measurement through the center will give me the length to cut the side borders.
I've pinned this one with the border fabric on the bottom. I want to make sure that I catch those pressed seams in the correct direction. Use a stiletto to feed the block seams under your pressure foot.
Press seams open and another measurement through the center will give me my top and bottom lengths.
Before I cut these I've still got to work out the applique' and two paper pieced blocks that I want to include. I'm off to sketch a bit more before I continue with this. Have a peace filled week, Laural
