Second Chances Quilt: For Quick De-stashing, Just Add Sashing

There were 21 blocks in the bag. The construction technique is one I am not familiar with, so making more wasn’t really an option, but 20 blocks was enough to make a baby quilt.

A quick trim squared them up to 7″.

The blocks are interesting, but not enough on their own. What was needed was sashing, something dramatic, to complete them.

I settled on 2-1/2″ sashing with coordinating colors in the cornerstones.

And matching binding.

Look around your sewing space and see if you have a bag of possibilities. Sashing might be just the thing you need to help you succeed in a little destashing.

  1. What a fun little quilt! The sashing really makes those blocks shine. I thought the picture with things laid out in a wonky manner was how you would be putting the quilt together. Wonky sashing would be great, too!

  2. Very nice little quilt. I’ve got some old 9-patch blocks that I’m thinking of sashing out to 10 or 11 inches and then making bowl cozies with them.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. It is nice to hear from you.
