    Well, my eyes are getting crossed too!
    I stitch sashing for front and back on one block. Since I am using such a narrow sashing, I do not have to add batting, I have left the batting all the way to the raw edge.

    Then on the front I added the second block to the sashing. Give it a good press and start on the back.

    The back sashing strip is 1/4" wider than the front, it doesn't have to be this is just how I do mine. I fold under the raw edge(if you do it Rita's way you will not have to do this step) and make sure that it covers the stitching from the addition of the second block. I know there are many who do not like glue but I put a thin line of glue in place, fold the back sashing in place over those stitches and press with a hot iron.

    Then I turn it to the front and stitch in the ditch along the sashing of the second block. This hold the back sashing in place and there is no hand stitching.

      Rita, I thought I had replied to your last post, but it must have been only in my head. I apologize for seeming to have ignored you.

      As always, you are so helpful, and your technique of doubling the sashing makes sense.

      Thank you!
