Measure the length of the rows.

You need to measure the length of the rows you have made. The rows I made for Judy’s quilt measured 65″ long. So, because I need 4 sashing strips each 65″ long, I need 260″ of sashing to sew the rows together. Here is the quilting math:

(4) 2.5″ strips X 65″ length needed=260″ needed /44″ width of fabric= 5.90 strips (rounded up to 6). I cut the strips,sewed them together end to end to make one long strip. After they were sewn together, I measured 65″ lengths and cut 4 pieces out.

Pin pin pin--pinning helps keep things in place until you have stitched them together.

After the strips were cut, I pinned one to the top of row#5, the bottom one, then stitched it in place. Then, I pinned the other side of the strip to the bottom of row #4, and stitched again. I repeated the process until I had all the rows and sashing strips sewn together.  I pressed all the seams towards the sashing strips.

Press the seams towards the sashing strips.

Tomorrow, I’ll figure out how big the borders need to be to make the finished quilt come out to be 96″ X 96″. Here is how it is looking after sewing all the sashing strips and squares together.

Looking good--it's getting close to being done!

    Its looking good, Karen. I’ve gotten as far as assembling my blocks for my first quilt. Now I need to sew them together. Just need to find a couple of hours to do it. 🙂

    I’m so excited I can hardly stand it! Is that a king sized bed you have it laid out on? That brown fabric will go perfectly with the headboard and window valances. 🙂

      Judy, it is an odd size between a queen and a king. We had to have the mattress special ordered.
