This step will continue the sashing for the Traditional Setting for finishing the Benjamin Franklin Mystery Quilt. We will offer the finishing steps broken down into sewing steps, much like the blocks, so that those who are working on the quilt as it posts may continue to follow along while continuing to finish their quilt. After all of the steps have finished posting for the 'Traditional Setting' the 'Non-Traditional' Setting will begin.
**A note about the fabrics: For the Traditional Setting quilt, we will be showing blocks made in a different colorway than our usual red, white, and blue. These blocks were made to test the pattern and are from our ThimbleberriesTM stash...you may find photos of most of these blocks in the "Ben Franklin Blocks" photo album on the left side of our Main/Home Page. The usual red, white, and blue blocks will be featured in the Non-Traditional Setting posting later.
This month's installment is easy and quick to finish! If you are behind in making your blocks, now would be a good time to catch up...you may also want to square-up and trim your large blocks to 12 1/2-inches square for following months' steps...
