In today's video I am showing you how to add sashing and cornerstones to your T-Shirt Quilt. The sashing and cornerstones are a fun design element cut from quilting cotton.
The fabric allows you to tie the T-Shirts together with a central color theme, which gives the eye a place to rest in between all the T-Shirt designs.
The quilting cotton is also thinner than the T-Shirts with interfacing, so it helps keep the seams thinner and easier to work with.
In the video I show you how to use strip-piecing to speed up the process of adding cornerstones to the sashing by sewing the fabric strips together first and then cutting them apart.
Then we move on to sewing the sashing to the quilt block so it is ready to lay out in our next video lesson.

Thank you for this video. I am making my first tee shirt quilt and your video series have been a real lifesaver! Love the idea of sewing the cornerstone strip to the sashing strip. I would never have thought of this time-saving method. Great and helpful video!
Your making progress on this quilt. It will be cool.
❤
Thank you
What a great idea of sewing the cornerstone strip to the sashing strip. I’ll have to remember that tip when adding cornerstones and sashing to other quilts. Do you use a different needle when sewing on the t-shirts? Not sure if you might have mentioned that previously and I missed it. See you next time.
Could you use the excess knit fabric from the t-shirts for the sashing?
I use knits in quilting all day long, if pieces are sashing or large, I back them with stabilizer.
The explanation is ok but you talk to fast and that squeaky voice is
hard to understand.
Commenting on someone's voice ( which they can't help ) is rude. As far as her talking fast, turn down the speed of the video.
