Every so often I stop playing with block designs, and play with sashing designs instead.
As you can see in these designs the sashing can be used as border designs too.
And then of course, you can add some blocks with some tricky bits pieced to form a frame around an applique.

Cindy,
Thank you.
I used to think that sashing was just a way to separate blocks, but sometimes the sashing can be a very important part of the design, and in some cases the sashing IS the design.
