Quilters of Mastodon: lets say I have a bunch of equal-size rectangles that I want to piece into strips (actually, I want sashing on both short and long sides so I can make a brickwork-type pattern. Should I:

A) sew sashing on the short side, piece it into a long strip, and then piece a long strip of sashing to the long side of the pieced strip?

B) sew sashing to the short side of a rectangle, then the long side, then piece a bunch together into a strip?

C) sew sashing to the long side of the rectangle, then the short side, then piece together into a strip?

D) a secret fourth thing??

What’s going to be best for seam-allowance management, minimizing distortion, and general ease of use?

@artcollisions any advice?

@swachter Personally, I would do A. It's much easier (in my experience) to even out the long sides with the sashing, than to try to match long *and* short side corners.
