Of course, I'll probably purchase a couple more fabrics that also might work, so I'll have about $60 just in sashing fabrics! LOL!! Perhaps Quilting Mojo should be re-defined

Maybe Janet has a definitive answer for the sashing, but I'm taking a wild guess here.

I'm not sure what the exact measurements of the sashing strips are, but I estimated about 1.38 yards and rounded up to 1.5 yards will be needed.

Because I don't trust my math (or my cutting!

) I have bought 2 yards of fabric that may be used for the sashing strips. Of course, I'll probably purchase a couple more fabrics that also might work, so I'll have about $60 just in sashing fabrics! LOL!! Makes the TQS kits look like the bargain of the year!

You know what - it is simple Ponte de Aria (stitches in the air)using strips of cloth instead of thread to make rugs instead of lace

loise98 OFFLINE Posts: 2932 Thank you received: 267	Susan, I wanted to ask the same question. I was thinking floor rugs. What kind of rugs do you make, Marilyn? Tooth brush rugs, locker hook? I haven't a clue.

idaho OFFLINE Posts: 2531 Thank you received: 183	Well....naw...the kind under you're feet !! Braided, crochet, toothbrush....sometimes locker hook. They all use up a lot of old or odd or undesired yardage. Won't matter if they run or bleed a little.
