In quilting, sashing refers to the strips of fabric that are used to join individual quilt blocks together to create a larger quilt top. Sashing can be used between individual blocks to add visual interest and help the blocks stand out, or it can be used around the entire edge of the quilt top to frame the blocks and create a cohesive look.
Quilt sashing is typically cut into long, narrow strips that are sewn between each block. The strips can be a solid color or a patterned fabric that complements the colors and design of the quilt blocks. Sashing strips can be of equal width or can vary in width to create a more interesting look.
When adding sashing between blocks, it's important to sew accurately and take care to align the seams between the blocks and the sashing strips. This helps to ensure that the finished quilt top is flat and the blocks are well-aligned.
