Well, this is it!
Amy gave us the sashing instructions this week and lookie what we have here! I would say it was a cinch, but I had a little trouble with the top row. Once all laid out, I had to put on the final strips. Somehow I reversed the direction and put the final corner piece on the wrong side. My visualization failed me this time, I guess I was just a little too tired when I was doing that part last night. It finally came to me in the light of day this morning and I fixed it. Not to shabby hugh?? ;)
A funny aside, I had to re-sash the top four blocks to fix my mistake. Now, I began sewing about 7 months ago. I made it through the
1st grade musical costumes, had to do a few re-do's involving lots of thread pulling and I began to pull threads on the sashes. Then while painstakingly pulling individual stitches, I figured out I could run the seam ripper along the whole thing and it comes right apart! Sheesh! I guess that's why they call it a seam ripper and not a seam puller! Yes, you may laugh now. I'll tell you though, this self-taught sewer was pretty thrilled at this time saving tip!

Wow, it looks awesome!! I did the same thing and stitched my top row on backwards. I am glad to hear I am not alone :) Wonderful job!
