Week 4 of the quilt along, is all about sashing! I've been impatiently waiting until I get the sashing made before I put some pieces up on my design wall and see how blocks cornerstones and sashing will look together. I'm happy that we're almost to this point where we get to see all the parts come together, and make a plaid!
Today, I'm chatting with Pat Sloan on her APQ podcast. I'm vacationing in Utah while we have our chat, so I'll be at a friend's house using their land line. I'm excited about our talking points, and I'd love to have you listen in, and hear what you would have liked to add to the chat had we all been at a table together!
Some notes for the week!
Take a look at pressing instructions for sashing. In a way, sashing pressing is opposite what we've done for blocks and cornerstones.
All sashing will be assembled this week, then next week is Easy Week, where we get to catch-up, get-ahead or take-it-easy. I think I'll work on getting ahead; how will you use Easy Week?

This week’s sponsor is Beautifully Mended, an online fabric shop I adore! Lacey has a gift for gathering fabrics for curated bundles. Every time a Beautifully Mended bundle shows up in my Instagram feed I audibly gasp. I was so thrilled when she contacted me offering to sponsor the QAL and supply one of her magically curated fabric bundles.
