This is the method I use whenever I have sashing with cornerstones.
This is an easier method rather than long sashing strips.

I've only made one quilt using long strips with cornerstones across the whole quilt. Lots of re-seaming in that one to make them fit. LOL
Yes, as Iceblossom mentioned, pin about every 2 inches. I have learned to avoid those long seams if possible. Another option is to cut the sashing slightly larger and then square up to finished size.

i've done it both ways.
you still end up with long seams, either across or in columns, with intersections that must match.
i pin the intersections.
then i do a few stitches across each one.
if any are not lined up correctly, i only have to unsew those stitches.
once it's all as good as it can possibly get i sew the long seam.
takes a little longer but my results are more consistent.

Patrice, Yes to sewing those intersections first.
Another tip when sewing blocks together.
Sew them together in four patch style. Then put them together. Think of putting the quilt together in quad units instead of rows. You end up with shorter seams across the whole quilt.
