Oh, you *dear* people: Edna, Polly, Leslie, Jeanne, KJ, Michelle, Sandy
and all of you at RCTQ.
I have a few personal problems at the moment, and am not over-endowed with
high self-esteem! so I'd like you to try to think how much this thread is
meaning to me.

I'm really sorry you're going through a rough patch, but I'm also glad to
hear that our timing is good. We all can use a pat on the back every day,
and you sound like you deserve all the pats and appreciation you are getting
here and then some. It's obvious from this thread how much affection and
admiration you have earned here!

Sunny, that's a really heart-warming thing. I'd never have thought it,
but I love being helpful - (the old teacher in me never dies!!). There
is something about passing on tips, large and small. Saves centuries of
repeated errors - if I've made them, why should you g.
Thank you.

Pat's advice and answers are the ones I watch for faithfully. Pat, I
really admire you. You are an amazing person as well as an amazing
quilter. What you do, and encourage us to do, is raising our craft to
the level of art. Thank you, and keep it coming. LOL

Hugs,
Sunny

Hi there,
Polly, could you or someone else explain what this mean? I have never
done sashing as my four quilts have all been Trip Around The World. I
am excited to try something new.
Thanks,
Julie in SFBA

hi Julie,
i'm not Polly, never gonna be close to this clever lady but i'm here reading
at the moment so i'll toss my thots into the pot here.
sashing is strips of fabric between blocks, a bit like wood that separates
window panes in a bigger window on some older homes (hope that makes sense).
pressing seams towards the blocks rather than back over the sashing will
give that extra lift under the edges of the block making it stand out that
wee bit more and the sashing recede. it is a real thing but its the visual
effect that i find fascinating. works on any blocks, any parts of blocks.
take a look at a few of your blocks and see where seams are pressed under
seem somehow to come forward and the adjacent part recedes abit. it is real
but who'd'a'thunk something so thin(the seam) could make such a difference.
sorry that is the only way i can think to explain it just now (only on first
cuppa tea here so maybe brain isnt all i might be yet, not that it is often
much more than vague, fingers crossed that made enough sense tho).

Now there's an idea - perhaps you should change your name to 'Pat on the
Back'!

Yea! Jeanne. You done good. I missed the question because I was busy
playing with yet again another attempt to conquer the scrap bin. These
blocks are supposed to be sashed with black. Naturally . . . I'm going to
see what lime will bring to the party. Polly
