Branches Wild Sashing Tutorial for The Home Sweet Home Quilt Along

I was completely caught when I sent my email update last time – I haven’t finished posting all of my sashing tutorials for the Home Sweet Home Quilt Along even though my quilt top is finished!  Oops!

So – here’s another one –

18. Branches Wild

Material:

1 – 12.5” x 3.5” rectangle

4 – 1.25” x 6” strips of contrasting fabric to the rectangle

1 – 1.5” x 15” strip

Start with a fabric rectangle 12.5” x 3.5”.  Make 4 random diagonal slashes through the 3.5” portion of the fabric.  Sew the 1.25” strips into the diagonal slashes.  Try to keep the rectangle as square as possible while you’re doing this.  Square up your rectangle Cut a slash through the middle of your rectangle the long way. Flip one side of your long rectangles so the strips are wonked a bit.

Sew the longer strip into the middle of the sashing.

Trim the sashing down to 3.5” x 12.5” and your ‘Branches Wild Sashing is complete!
