Try This Simple Method for Adding Sashing
| January 29, 2019 | Quilting How-To
No More Sewing Long Rows Together!
Have you ever struggled to stitch on rows of sashing in between rows of blocks? It’s simpler, and often more precise, to sash each block individually before sewing them together.
In the following video Susan Claire, the Gourmet Quilter, demonstrates the process by adding sashing to 5″ charm squares. In the process she creates a lovely quilt that doesn’t require a pattern.
Choose a beautiful charm pack and put your own lovely quilt together. Or, use her process the next time you need to add sashing and cornerstones (or posts, as Susan calls them) to a quilt made of more complex blocks.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!

That’s exactly what I did on the Splendid Sampler quilt I just finished. It’s SO much easier.
Thank you so much! I’m going to try this method – much easier then the long strips!
