There on the left is the printout of the color-block layout, so I rearranged the blocks and am now ready to sew on the sashings

Shadowbox Quilt: Steps 7 & 8
Step 7: Sew on all the longer black and white strips, making sure the black ends meet at the corner. This makes the shadow.
Step 8: I have them lined up in five stacks of six blocks, so I can keep the original color-block layout.
Of course, that got mixed up when I had to rip out a couple of seams and add those blocks back in out of order. Fortunately, I had taken a picture early on of the order, and enlarged it and printed it out so I could see how they were supposed to go, once I had all these seams pressed open.

Shadowbox Quilt: Step 6
All the parts sorted and ready to assemble. On the far right my the photo copy of the finished quilt top.
The white strips are the WOF x 2" strips for the rest of the sashing, and some to be cut into 2" squares.
Thirty each of black and white 9 1/2" x 1 1/2" , and 10 1/2" x 1 /12" shadow strips.
Thirty 9 1/2" color print squares--5 rows of 6 squares, two from each fat quarter.
I still have to cut the outer border--it's black in the pattern I'm following, but you can do it any color, and the backing is going to be the same white print, I think, because I have a lot of it. We'll see when the time comes for that part of it. I'll wait to do the border till when I see how big the top is once assembled and go from there.

Shadowbox Quilt: Step 3
All
in a line ready to press to the dark side and clip apart. You can use
the rotary cutter, but since its all on the ironing board, I just used
my scissors.
Shadowbox Quilt: Step 2
This pic is of the 9 1/2" x 1 1/2" black strips being sewn onto the WOF (Width of Fabric) 1 1/2" white print strip I'm sewing them with a scant 1/4" seam allowance.
Shadowbox Quilt: Step 1...
Step 1 cutting shadow: thirty 9 1/2" x 1 1/2", thirty 8 1/2" x 1 1/2" black;
and WOF x 1 1/2" white print fabric--sashing strips.
Actually, step 1a was purchasing, washing and ironing the 30 fat quarters for the focal blocks. You can see them in Step six.
I'm re-doing the posting of this quilt notes as a tutorial, so check back later.
