Easter Egg Hunt // Sashing and Cornerstones

I’m Eggstatic! We are almost finished with the Easter Egg Hunt quilt top!

Cutting Instructions for sashing and cornerstones

I am tossing the eggs up on my design wall and starting to sew them together!

Piecing Instructions

Sew the 1-1/2” x 9-1/2” strips between 5 eggs and a strip on each end. For a total of 6 sashing strips per row. Press towards the sashing. There will be a total of 4 rows.

When i sew sashing strips to a block, i always fold the block in half and the strip in half and finger press each to identify it’s center. I match the finger pressed creases and pin in place. I then pin the top and bottom of the sashing strip to the egg block and add more pins in-between. Next, sew the sashing strip to the egg. This might seem unnecessary, but i know my sashing strips are egg-actly 9-1/2” long. The egg block might be a tad off. This method helps keep the entire quilt ‘square’ and not wonky.

Once all 4 egg rows have sashing in-between, it’s time for the shorter 1-1/2” x 6-1/2” horizonal sashing strips and the 1-1/2” cornerstones

Sew 6 cornerstones to (5) 1-1/2” x 6-1/2” sashing strips. Press towards the sashing and Repeat for a total of 5 horizontal sashing/cornerstone strips.

Use the vertical sashing strips to nestle the cornerstone seams. Pin in between and sew your Easter Egg Hunt quilt together.

If mine was all sewn together, i’d show you! But i am working on it too. Let’s set a Sunday goal and have the top all pieced!

It’s a heavy goal but We can do it!
