The top is now finished......next it will be sandwiched with batting and a backing and basted in preparation for machine quilting.
In this case the outside sashing measures 1/2" wider than the other sashing strips. 1/4" extra is provided to trim/square the quilt prior to binding. And the extra 1/4" will be covered with the black binding. This will allow the cornerstones to be visually the same size as in the body of the quilt.

That sashing tip is brilliant! One I am going to use on the next quilt with sashing! Your quilt looks great too! I love the Asian prints but it is always a question how to use them.
