The precise pinning by Betsy begins. Each row needs a sashing. The first one is the easiest one but it set up the line for the rest. You pin, look, look again, eye it up, and pin again another 5 times in each of the 56 squares. Takes lots of time and patience.
I sew a 1/4 inch seam along the edge of each sashing the width of the quilt.
I trim, iron and look for mistakes.
If I find anything wrong, Betsy picks it out, repins it and I then re-sew it and re press it. And of course, check it again. Then I hand it off to Betsy and she checks it again.
Pressing the sashing seams toward the black.
Pinning the last row!!!!
The quilt top is almost finished. We measured and I am going to take it up to our king size bed to see how it fits. We are trying to figure out if we should use a 2-inch or 4-inch border all the way around. Right now it measures 96 X 111, roughly.

I hope you enjoyed my attempt at quilting. I've learned a lot over the years from comments and conversations I have had with friends on the Internet. I hope you will leave a comment that will inspire me to be a better quilter.
