Just Desserts BOM-Sashing and Borders

2/15/2020

Perhaps the hardest part of the setting process is deciding on fabrics.  I am going with a polka dot for the sashing strips from my stash and four different fabrics for my cornerstones which are leftovers from fabrics I used in my blocks.  I am breaking out of my mold here by using a variety of fabrics for the cornerstones,  but I think it will add another layer of interest to my quilt.

I am sewing with the sashing strips on the bottom.  This allows me to keep an eye on all of those seams and to use a stiletto (or in my case That Purple Thang) to help guide thick seams under my needle.  I also place a pin or two, to keep the sashing lined up with the edges of the block.  I always place a pin at the bottom, and then sometimes somewhere in the middle if I feel it is needed to keep the edges aligned.

And just like when piecing the block  I always S-L-O-W down when I come to bulky seams.  It really helps to keep the seam nice and straight.  Otherwise it can get a little wobbly going over the bulk.
